I try to have a positive look towards the life. Even in difficult situations I try to find something to make me smile. I like communicate with people, who have good sense of humor. I like to make jokes sometimes as well (okey, I bit more than sometimes…:) ). I’m four grade student in Lithuania sports university. I study “Practicing systems, gymnastics”. If to talk about my hobby, my great passion is to dance and do sports. If to be honest, I can’t imagine my life without that. On the dance floor I can realize myself.

Facts

  • Favorite Zalgiris player. A.Sabonis
  • The most memorable game. December, 2014, Zalgiris Kaunas – Dinamo Sassari. James Anderson buzzer beater and a foul leads the way for Zalgiris to Euroleague Top-16!
  • The most memorable situation during the game. All situations are memorable but I can tell one, when in Zalgiris Arena I was dancing on the other side than the whole team for the whole time. Unfortunately, when I noticed that half of the performance have passed.
  • The maximum number of times you had to change your outfit in one game. 10
  • The best thing about being Zalgiris cheerleader. I can go to the games for free and it’s court side. Joke! If seriously, we are the part of the team and people like us, we can feel the support and are valued.
  • Why Zalgiris? Being raised in Kaunas I wouldn’t have any other idea than cheering for Zalgiris. By the way it’s a great pleasure to dance for the best basketball team.
  • Zalgiris associates with… unity. It’s a team that unites whole Kaunas! All the chants, “waves”, screams of victory or tears of disappointment – that’s what unites all people in Kaunas during Zalgiris games.
  • If I wouldn’t be a cheerleader for Zalgiris… It’s difficult to tell what I would be like. I guess I would still be in professional sports.
