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. The next group of people I would like to thank are the coaches that have helped me along the way: the Villa family, Master Martin Ramirez, Tim Thackrey and Master Kwak. 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."
