After breaking her leg while downhill skiing at the age of five, she preferred to try cross-country skiing, football and jiu-jitsu. "I did almost every sport until I was 11. But then I stuck to cross-country skiing and switched to biathlon when I was fourteen." (zoll.de, 2022)
At the age of about 13, she was introduced to air rifle test shooting at her sports club training group. She enjoyed it so much that she started biathlon straight away. "The combination of running and shooting is just incredibly exciting. Anything can happen until the end. I also like the variety of training, especially in the summer. You can also go cycling or mountaineering there." (biathlon-news.eu, 1 Aug 2018)
"I hope that I can go to the next Olympics." (biathlon-news.eu, 1 Aug 2018)
"A typical training day isn't exactly exciting, it really consists only of eating, sleeping and training. The main unit usually takes place in the morning, I always sleep a bit at noon before continuing with the second unit in the afternoon. In the evening there is still time to do something with friends or just to relax and prepare for the next day." (biathlon-news.eu, 1 Aug 2018)
