HI! My name is Laura, I was born and raised in Como and I am the coach of Gymnastics Fly Gozzano , a rhythmic gymnastics company I founded 5 years ago.
I myself was a gymnast.
Thanks to an advertising flyer seen by my mother in primary school, I started at 6 years old in Comense and at 13 I joined the national youth team. After Serie A and international competitions, at 16 I took part in my first world championships as an individualist.
In 2002 I changed clubs and moved to San Giorgio Desio, and the following year Emanuela Maccarani , coach of the national team, chose me to join the team that would participate in the 2004 Athens Olympics. There, a dream came true: we won a medal. silver!
But that's not all: the following year, at the world championships in Baku , after a silver in the general competition and in the 5 ribbons final, we won a historic gold in the 3 hoops and 2 clubs final . It was an immense emotion and I cried for the first time in my life with joy!
In 2006 I decided to become an individualist again and managed to get a place in the national team.
Unfortunately I fail an important qualification and so I decide to leave. But I don't stop: I do two years of theater tours with the Rhyth.Mix company, with which I also participate in Scherzi a Parte on channel 5, thanks to my friend Luca Bizzarri , a follower of the rhythmic national team.
In 2012 I became a coach at Omega; I stayed for 4 years, taking the company from 30 to more than 100 gymnasts, with 4 offices open.
In 2015 I decided to open my own ASD branch and I currently have a gymnast on the national team!
Outside of my sporting world, I love MotoGP, fashion and modeling for shoots. I also like reading, drawing, writing and, of course, I love my Lake Como!
