Career

edit

In 2021, Verdes placed 12th in the all-around at World Cup Baku and was fourth place in qualifying for one of three spots for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics before the last World Cup.[3] At the last World Cup in Pesaro, she was 21st in the all-around and did not win one of the Olympic quotas.[4][5] At the 2021 European Championships, she qualified to the all-around final in 14th place.[6] She ultimately did not qualify to the Olympics due to her placement below the Hungarian Fanni Pigniczki, who earned the European Continental quota to the Olympics instead.[7]

From October 27 to 31, she competed at the 2021 World Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan, and ended in 15th place in the all-around qualifications. In the all-around final, she made some mistakes and finished 18th.

At the 2023 World Championships in Valencia, Spain, she finished 20th place in the all-around qualifications. She did not qualify to the all-around final.
