Quotable Giuliana Gil: "I'd like to thank my mom for supporting through all my struggles. I would also like to thank my dad for all the relentless workouts. My parents always believed in me, that is why I am the athlete I am today. I would also like to thank the Villa Family for helping me throughout the years. I learned that if I want to be the best I have to sacrifice ALOT. If that is what it takes I am willing to do it."
