Marcia told ACN that she is very happy because she had prepared well and wanted to help her team. “I have two Gold and two Silver and I still have two apparatus tomorrow to increase my medals”.

The judges were not very good with me in the vault apparatus but this gives me strength to improve and win tomorrow, I will overcome my mistakes and expect to do better on the balance beam and floor exercise, she said.

Marcia said she is proud, despite her youth, to be the guide of the team and will win the promise she made to herself and her friend Larduet.

Our promise is; the one that loses must take out the other to a nice place. However, the competition is tied, because we both have Gold and Silver, she said.
