Rhythmic Gymnast, Polina Berezina, returned to her Torrevieja roots on Monday, following her homecoming from the Olympic games, where she represented Spain.

A date at the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Centre was attended by her family and friends, dozens of members from her former club, as well as the Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, and the Councillor for Sports, Diana Box.

On stage, Polina shared her experiences, both from her career and in the French capital. She also signed dedications to the audience. The event was organised by the Torrevieja City Council, through the Department of Sports, who wanted to support the Spanish representative after her participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Polina has competed at seven Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships and won a bronze medal with the Spanish team in 2022. She is a five-time (2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022) Spanish national all-around champion at the senior level and she competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in women’s rhythmic individual all-around where she was placed 15th.
