A model of perseverance, hard work and willpower
At just 15, Elena Chiriac can be proud of numerous national and international medals in the Olympic discipline of taekwondo. A child who has learned, since the age of 7, what discipline, hard work and passion for sport mean.
A childhood marked by achievement
In the 8 years since she began practising taekwondo, Elena has become a multiple national champion, has won three Romanian Cup titles, the bronze medal at the Balkan Championship in Sofia and numerous trophies at international competitions. She took part in the 2016 WTF European Taekwondo Championships. She is currently part of the national squad and is preparing for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Elena came to the sport by coincidence – she liked it so much that she cannot see herself practising any other discipline, even though her passion for fashion does not quite match her “fighting” image.
Elena tells us how taekwondo gets along with modelling in the video above.
