Additional Info: MOVE TO COTTBUS, JOURNEY TO PARA CYCLING
After competing in Para athletics at the Paralympic Games in 2012 and 2016, she decided to step away from the sport due to left foot and ankle injuries. She initially tried Para triathlon, including winning a bronze medal in the PTS3 event at the 2017 World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands, but in 2018 she moved to Cottbus, Germany, to train at the national training centre for Para cycling. "I want competitive sports. I want to compete, I also want to have competitive sports. I needed a change back then [in 2018]. After a conversation with base manager Ralf Paulo, everything happened very quickly. For me, home is still the Eifel, the place where my family and friends live. But Cottbus has also become home for me - this is what I primarily associate with my everyday life." (rbb24.de, 05 Sep 2023; swr.de, 22 Aug 2023)
