Marine Brevet (FRA)

She was closed to be qualified for All Around and floor exercise final. Montpellier Euros will be an opportunity for her to reach these finals…

What made you start gymnastics?

I was 6 years old when I started gymnastics. One day at school I saw two girls doing handstands… At night I told my mum I wanted to do the same. She did not believe I have serious do I had to insist and she finally agreed to enrolled my into a gym club.

What is a typical day like?

I go to class twice a day from 8h to 10h then from 14h15 to 16h15. Also I have two trainings form 10 to 12h30 and from 16h30 to 18h30.

What is your gymnastics’ best memory?

I loved my first European Championships in Clermont-Ferrand in2008. I compete as a junior and we won the silver team medal. I am also very proud of the two bronze medals I won in the London Test-Event in 2012 (team and floor exercise).

Do you feel bad pressure with a European Championships organized in France, in front of the French audience?

I do not feel bad pressure, it is quite the opposite ! I already performed in front of our home crowd in the Clermont-Ferrand 2008 European Championships and the French International of Bercy. Public is very helpful during these moments. It is really encouraging for us.

In the last World Championships, you were so closed to be qualified for all-around final. These finals are your main goal for Montpellier? Or what is it?

In Nanning I was so disappointed to see that, without a fall on floor exercise, I could be part of the all-around and floor exercise final. Of course in Montpellier I am targeting to be part of for these finals!

Thomas Bouhail about Marine : « She has so much energy and she is a very classy gymnast. Her best event is the floor exercise because of her amazing acrobatic and extension skills. I really believe she will succeed in Montpellier. »
