To perfect her skills, Lola ___41___ for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That’s especially impressive, ___42___ she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t ___43___ how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom ___44___ that even though she couldn’t see ___45___, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the ___46___ right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
