2010
Started biathlon at age seven in her home village Cierny Balog. In 2004 she moved to Osrblie, to train professionally. (fialky.sk, 2021).
Followed her older sister Paulina.
"Every biathlete's dream is to succeed in the most important races such as the Olympic Games, the World Championships or the European Championships." (fialky.sk, 2021)
Finishing sixth in the pursuit at the 2020 World Championships in Antholz. "I'm very happy, the wind blew on the first shot, I clicked two to the left and it was probably not enough, then I reacted correctly and the rest went black." (sportinak.sk, 16 Feb 2020)
Her sister. "Sure, I want to catch up with my sister. It's an extra motivation for me, but it's mainly about taking from her what she's good at, but not about rivalry. We don't compare ourselves, but with the world. We try our best to support and I am grateful to my sister for all the advice and help she gave me. I must also say that we are a team at the race and we experience the results together, looking forward and being disappointed. My sister has a great example of what can be achieved and is a great motivation for me. Without her, I probably wouldn't be where I am." (slovenskybiatlon.sk, 2021)
"Biathlon is for me something like a lifestyle that I chose when I was little and that is why I have the highest goals and ambitions for the future. In each season I enter, I want to overcome myself, overcome my best positions and rise gradually step by step upwards." (fialky.sk, 2021).
