Romani youth athlete Annamária Horváthová, who became known as the "girl in flats", won the 1 500 meter event in the individual category during the recent championship in eastern Slovakia, according to her trainers. She has also been racking up other athletic successes recently.
At the national level of the youth championship, Horváthová came in third in the 1 500 meter event and fifth in the 800 meter event. Her story began two years ago, when a photograph of her standing in first place on the winners' tribunal captured attention on social media.
Her talent was noticed by a local athletics club, who took her on and is supporting her financially. After one year of training she became the best runner in her category in eastern Slovakia.
