Carolina Pascual Gracia
Carolina
was born in Orihuela (Alicante) June 17th 1976. She was in ballet but when
she was seven years old the teacher told Carolina's mother that she had
excellent qualities for RSG. There wasn't a competition club in her town
so she went to Club Escuela de Competición in Murcia and later to
Club Atlético Montemar in Alicante. Her mother had to drive about
an hour every day in order to take Carolina to the trainings. All this
sacrifices were rewarded in 1990 when Emilia Boneva selected her for the
National Individual Team. She quit in 1993, after the World Championships
in Alicante.
She has been one of our most successful gymnasts and the first one to get
an Olympic medal (silver in Barcelona '92). As a gymnast she stands out
because of her very difficult and expressive routines.
Now she is a coach at Club IMD Orihuela.

Emilia
Boneva's opinion about her
"Carolina's best
quality is that she always works like if she were competing, but sometimes
she relaxes and uses it to escape"
