POST-INJURY INSPIRATION
She considered her future in the sport after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury in 2017. "I really went through the thought process of whether I want to continue. I always knew that I could, but is it worth it? It was really good to go through that thought process. After that, I came to the conclusion that I still have something to give. Now the drive is really strong." (is.fi, 25 May 2019)

TRIP TO SWEDEN
In 2018 she spent four months living in Sweden with a family in Eskilstuna. "I felt ready for an adventure. For a long time, I had hoped to have the opportunity to go outside of Finland to train for a little longer than normal. I was first invited to Eskilstuna a long time ago, but confirming timetables and practical matters took its time." (urheilunruusukoynnos.blogspot.com, 01 May 2018)
