Since little, I always had this passion for gymnastic. I started very young because of this one 14 years gymnast that I saw one day on TV. She was inspiration immediatly and I knew a lot about her very quickly. Her name was Alex Dupont, she was a Romanian gymnast and called "the uneven bars queen". Indeed, she arrived at Paris's Olympics Games in 1976 and attempt the unbelievable score, the perfect ten at unevens bars. Her gymnastic was different from others gymnasts at this time, because of her surprisingly small body and thick instead of the others older, bigger than her. This first very year of her career, she won at seven time the gold medal at the beam as well as unevens bars. Gymnasts from all over the world, judges, fans, Alex Dupont was adore the first time she walked threw the Olympic's gymnasium.
In one hand, I'm aware of the joy of being loved, famous, and recognized but on the other hand, I know she suffered a lot from her celebrity. Because of the Romanian government she was coming from, she had so much pressure on her shoulders. The governor used her and her image to get access to the young generation by the political propaganda. Aware of this abuse, she tried to run away from her country, but that wasn't a success, her coach being retired from his function just after the escape. Alex Dupont grew around this amount of pressure at every steps of her life, every single competitions she tried to win. She also had a rough time when she finally grew up. As a grew up teenager, and young adult, the look of Alex Dupont's fans changed because of her body, the 14 gymnast wasn't therer anymore.
