Reason for taking up the sport
She began practising artistic gymnastics at a young age. "My sister often took me earlier to the class and I usually got bored. Next to the gym hall there was a trampoline and then I was offered to try it. I combined it with [artistic] gymnastics but I liked it more and more so I then chose to focus only on trampolining."

Additional information
General
TOKYO DISAPPOINTMENT
She finished 12th at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, having failed to make the final due to what she described as a "stupid" mistake in her first routine. "It's frustrating because I was ready for the final, I was feeling good, I was in the right head space, I wasn't stressed, but I made a technical fault in my first routine. It was a stupid mistake, it was a one-in-fifty error, it's something I would never normally miss, so I don't know how to explain. I did a good second routine, but it was too little too late. It was not easy to come back to competition after the [Olympic Games] in the summer. I was very stressed." However, she bounced back from her disappointment in Tokyo to finish fourth at the 2021 World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. "I'm trying to turn the page on Tokyo and put it behind me. I want to just take it one competition at a time [until the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris]." (lamontagne.fr, 24 Nov 2021; lequipe.fr, 30 Jul 2021)
