June 2020: Minor hand injury after colliding with a bus while cycling during training with the national team.

Start:

Started skating in Szeged in 2008. "Our kindergarten had a big yard and that's where the coaches from one of the clubs started to teach us roller-skating. My mother wanted me to be able to skate on ice, so when I started primary school, I was enrolled in a club where I went skating and roller-skating for three or four years at the same time. Then I was told I had to choose and I decided to go for short-track." (nemzetisport.hu, 19 Jun 2021)

Reason:

"It was around 2008 or 2009 that I started skating, and by then Hungarian short track racers Erika Huszar, Bernadette Heidum and Szandra Lajtos had already achieved some good results. Szandi (Lajtos) also came home to Szeged relatively often, so I had the chance to meet her in person. When I was young, I decided that I would like to follow their example and compete in the Olympics." (nemzetisport.hu, 19 Jun 2021)

General Interest

CYCLING CHALLENGER
Competed in the 2020 Hungarian National Track Cycling Championships, after the usual short track competition schedule was interrupted by the pandemic, winning three gold medals. "We were well into the coronavirus pandemic, our races were postponed, and I thought I would test myself at the September competition. It wasn’t the victory that drove me, I started because I hadn’t raced for half a year then and wanted to relive the racing situation; to practice preparation, concentration, eating certain meals on race days and getting used to the adrenaline of competition. That gave me the motivation." (nemzetisport.hu, 19 Jun 2021)

LANGUAGE
Hopes to become a translator. (nemzetisport.hu, 19 Jun 2021)
