Zalgiris cheerleader since 2017.

I am extremely active lady who is unable to sit in one place. I work endlessly, so almost all of my days are scheduled to an hour accuracy. Persistence and improvement are the two most accurate words I would use to describe myself in any work environment. And, of course, a smile - I never leave home without it.

FACTS

  • All-time favorite Zalgiris player: Paulius Jankūnas.
  • Most memorable game: 2017-2018 season match against Piraeus Olympiacos for reaching the Euroleague final four. All the fans, wearing green shirts, the atmosphere and victory evoked unforgettable emotions!
  • Most memorable event during a game: during the dance, the heel of my high-heeled shoe got stuck in my tights. While the other ladies continued to dance, I couldn’t move. I tried to pull out the heel nicely and unnoticed, but unfortunately … Realizing that I would not be able to continue dancing, I pulled out the high heel and finished the dance with the biggest hole in the tights. I don’t think I went unnoticed. :)
  • Most costumes changed in one game: I have never counted, as the most important thing is to manage change the costumes in time. 😊
  • Best thing about being a Zalgiris cheerleader: the opportunity to always support my beloved team and run to the court where I can do what I do best – dance!
  • Why Zalgiris? Zalgiris is my hometown team, and becoming part of that team seemed like an unattainable childhood dream.
  • I associate Zalgiris with…unity, unreal emotions, loyal fans, excitement and the best memories!
  • If I didn‘t dance for Zalgiris, I‘d… definitely dance somewhere else, I would also be a fan of Zalgiris and would look at the cheerleaders of Zalgiris as an unattainable dream.
