Who can overlook Kimmy Repond’s talent in front of the camera, which has led to a remarkable number of followers on TikTok and Instagram! It’s her fusion of acrobatic excellence with elegant movements that blows away the spectators in the stadiums: Kimmy Repond runs, dances, jumps, pirouettes in jaw-dropping perfection – and without any visible strain.
