General
INJURY WOE
She has had two serious injuries during her career - a torn anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] in 2011 and a fractured shin bone in 2015. On both occasions her injuries meant she was unable to compete at the world championships that year, which in 2011 and 2015 served as the qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games in 2012 and 2016 respectively. She is now aiming to make her Olympic debut at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. "If I'm healthy, I don't see a reason to stop. I always feel that I can keep learning more and more, not just in terms of skills, but also how to mentally compete." (thegymter.net, 20 May 2016)
