At Age 6 She was playing with her friends in the woods and fell off a treehouse they built and ripped part of her hair off which took a year to grow back

At Age 17 Her coaches discovered she was smoking and stealing and being vulgar she was kicked off the team and notified she would never be allowed to compete in any future high class swimming cubs or coaches. A chance of her being famous in the Olympics was in a sham.
