María Isabel, "Maisa",
Lloret was born in Villajoyosa (Alicante) in 1971. She started in RSG in
1984 when she watched on TV Anelia Ralenkova's clubs routine, then she
decided that she wanted to be like her. She was on the club Atlético
Montemar with Elena García as her coach. Maisa was selected for
the National Team by Emilia Boneva in 1986 and quit in 1988 because of
a back injury. Later, she started to train again, preparing Barcelona Olympics
but she had to quit definitely because of various meniscus injuries and
surgery.
Maisa has been one of
our best gymnasts, in fact she was the first Spanish gymnast to get a perfect
score, it happened in the 1988 Spanish Championships on her clubs routine.
Now she works in the
Spanish Federation of Gymnastics, in the marketing department.
