Strong start to the 2013/14 season, her first year competing at the World Cup regularly. "I am just happy. I used to compete exclusively in the IBU Cup, and I had no idea what could happen to me at the World Cup and what kind of competition there would be. I only hoped that I would be able to get into the sprint, pursuit races and these points, which I scored in those races are already an additional bonus for me. I did not expect to score points, but I believe that this is not the end, and I will still score points." (biathlon.com.ua, 20 Dec 2013)
