Andreotti earlier competed in the U.S., Greece, Latvia and Ukraine. She was in prime form in Colombia.
害羞草研究所淲inning an Individual medal at Pacific Rim was awesome, but what was more exciting was how I did it. I did the best hoop routine I害羞草研究所檝e ever done and got the highest score I害羞草研究所檝e ever gotten (15.133) which felt so good. It was a really cool event because we were not only together with other members of the Canadian Rhythmic team, but also with Canada害羞草研究所檚 national teams for Trampoline, and Men害羞草研究所檚 and Women害羞草研究所檚 Artistic Gymnastics. We all competed in a huge stadium and had the chance to cheer for each other害羞草研究所檚 events.害羞草研究所�
