I am overwhelmed. PAVLYUCHENKOVA

During the post-victory press conference, Anastasia commented

“I’m really overwhelmed and don’t think I realized that I just won my fourth Monterrey trophy. Some people just have four trophies in total, and I have four here! It’s very special, and it’s a special place in my heart; it’s where I won my first title and since won three more.

But a trophy is a trophy; I’m so happy to hold it.”
