The aroma of freshly baked bread and the excited chatter of the other gymnasts swirled around Mia. She clutched her gym bag tightly. She had trained tirelessly, pushing herself to the limit, perfecting her routines. She felt an almost childlike thrill as she imagined the competition, the applause, and the pride.

A warmth spread through her. She felt buoyant, almost weightless. She envisioned herself, graceful and strong, executing her routines flawlessly. She imagined the feeling of the medal around her neck.

The coach approached, a smile on her face. Mia stood straighter, waiting.
