The Paralympic Phryge takes the shape and form of a Phrygian cap. Her passion is to blaze a trail; some might say she is fearless, which might be true, but one thing is certain: she hates being bored and loves to try new things. With her mindset of being the perfect supporter, she loves promoting the values of sport, celebrating athletes in all arenas and all the Games venues and partying to celebrate victories or get over defeats.
