Other information | MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES Since the 2018 World Junior Championships where she finished in 13th place overall she has been affected by mental health issues. "Those junior worlds went really well, and I felt very good, but shortly after that, I started having mental health issues. I was ill with an eating disorder and depression. I took a break, and for a while I was training long track with a Swedish group. That was fine but it's not my style, really. I like the speed and excitement of short track. Then we had the whole coronavirus. I am feeling better now, and I'm back living at home and training. I'm not sure if I'll be ready for Beijing 2022 [Olympic Winter Games], but it could happen. I would definitely like to get back into racing regularly and get to Milan-Cortina 2026 [Olympic Winter Games]. I want to get back to racing at my best." (isu.org, 18 Aug 2021) |
