Hello friends. Cynthia was born in Pennsylvania into an ordinary, unremarkable family. True, at the age of 13 she tried martial arts and realized that she liked it. The girl began to actively play sports and with such energy that she quickly reached heights. In the future, it was difficult to realize oneself, since during the 80-90s there were no separate women’s sports divisions and the only way was to participate in men’s competitions, which already put her in unequal conditions.
