General Interest

SWITCH TO PAIR SKATING
She switched from singles to pairs in 2007 after Yannick Kocon invited her for a try out. “Actually, I was pretty good in jumps when I was a single skater but, at some point, I didn’t have the motivation. I was at the point of quitting figure skating. So I needed new inspiration, new things to try. Maybe I was made for pairs.” (IFS Magazine, Oct 2019)

TAKING A BREAK
She retired due to injuries and lack of motivation following the 2010 Olympic season, but came back a year later when asked to try out with Guarise. (IFSmagazine,, Oct 2019)

RETIREMENT
Announced her retirement following the 2021/22 season at the ISU Grand Prix Rostelecom Cup 2021. (Pirouette Magazine, Dec 2021)

GRUPPO SPORTIVO FIAMME ORO
Joined the sports section of the Italian State Police, where duties include going to the police school occasionally, but it mostly allows her to make a job out of figure skating. (anythinggoe.com, 19 Jan 2020)
