Meet the plus-sized gymnast who has competed in 40 national competitions and wants to show the sport is for anyone.

Angela Salvatore, 25, started gymnastics when she was 12-years-old and came third in the Junior Olympics in 2013.

Since then, she has entered dozens of competitions with her unique routines - most recently the NAIGC Nationals in April, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she came 39th out of 375 gymnasts.

Angela, who describes herself as plus size, says she knows she is larger than her usually-petite competitors.

But she says she hasn't been treated differently when competing against them.
