HIATUS AND COMEBACK
She suspended her sports career in 2017 and returned to the international stage in 2021. "After the world championships in 2017, I took a short break to improve my health. I had some problems with my back and needed some treatment. After that break I found out I was pregnant, so it was no wonder that I stopped training for a long period of time. There are a lot of reasons why I've come back. It's my love for sport, a passion for motion. I really like what I'm doing. I'm a big fan of this kind of sport. Besides, I want to see what is possible to accomplish. When I do my sport, I feel the fullness of life. For me, sport is an amazing journey - it brings 'wow' moments into my life."
