"If someone had told me about the World Cup two weeks ago I wouldn't have believed it, so the Olympic Games I don't think about at all. But of course it’s a dream to participate one day.” (biathlonlive.com, 6 Jan 2022)
Being selected to compete in World Cup for the first time in January 2022. "I can't wait to discover the World Cup. Even if there is necessarily a little apprehension, I can't wait to experience this. I want to do the best possible race and we will see the result at the finish. I have no idea of my level, so my objective is to be satisfied with my race at the finish. I am more than satisfied with my start to winter. I would never have imagined such a start to the season."
