Took up natural sledding at age seven and switched to artificial at age 14, at the suggestion of her father. (merano-suedtirol.it, Feb 2020)

"She did everything, I didn't push or influence her," says her father Armin. "When Nina first stepped onto the natural slopes, she was a child and I, in the height of my career, was never home. I only helped her at the age of 14, when, at her request I directed her to the artificial slopes, then I advised her to join the sports group of the military." (Corriere Dell'Alto Adige, 2 Aug 2019)
To compete near her hometown in the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. (The South Tyrolean, March 2021)
"Before the race, I walk through the track piece by piece in my head. That helps to distract me and relieve my nervousness. It is important that the body is fit, as well the mind. As soon as I start on the sled, sit down, I switch off completely and wait until the start." (merano-suedtirol.it, Feb 2020)
