Other informationWORLD CUP DEBUT
In February 2023 she made her World Cup debut after being called to the national team due to several absentees. "That's cool, although I must honestly say that I didn't expect it anymore." She skated in the 1500m, a distance that suits her well. "Last year it was mainly between 1000m and 1500m, but now I dare to say that the 1500m suits me best. I want to invest a lot in this in the coming years. I am not necessarily a race sprinter but I naturally have quite a lot of speed. In terms of endurance, however, I will have to improve even more."
