Personal life

Teresa took up rhythmic gymnastics at age six in the first grade of primary school after seeing a friend do it. During summer she trains five hours every day, from autumn to spring she trains from 4 p.m until 8:30 p.m. Gorospe said she can now combine sport very well with studies, as gymnastics helps her to be more disciplined and to make better use of her time. In her free time she either studies or spend time with friends. Her favourite book and movie are Malory Towers by Enid Blyton and The Parent Trap by David Swift. Teresa says her best quality is that she's a hard worker, her idol is Russian gymnast Dina Averina who's a four time world champion.[2] Her ultimate goal for her sporting career is to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.[3]
