Winning the title in the single mixed relay with Antonin Guigonnat at the 2021 World Championships in Pokljuka: "I still have a little trouble realizing. It’s going so fast. I’m going to watch this race again and I think it’s going to help me achieve. It's great to share this with Anto. We made our mixed singles debut together in the IBU Cup and we've come a long way since then. It’s great fun!" (ledauphine.com, 18 Feb 2021)
