BREAK FROM SPORT
Took a break from short track during the 2018/19 season after competing at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang. She returned to training in July 2019. "The same thing happened as after Sochi, which is why I decided to skip the whole season. I didn't want to go through the same thing as before, because after Sochi I started the new season, but I realised that I just couldn't do it.

"This time I was able to rest, and I was even making progress with my university studies, but after a while I missed training. I thought about it a lot, and I came to the conclusion that I was still too young to quit for good." (origo.hu, 23 Apr 2019, isu.org)
