Her parents, who met through skating, put her on skates at an early age. She began roller skating in 1990. "I put on father's special roller skates for the first time when I was one-and-a-half years old. At that time, what I was most looking forward to was practising with everyone every night." (isu.org)
Switched to speed skating in 2015 as she wanted to compete at the Olympic Winter Games. "When I made the switch to ice, I told myself to cast aside all of my past glories as an inline skater. The moment I decided to become a speed skater, I became a nobody. I knew I was starting from the bottom, from zero. But that was a welcome challenge for me." (Info 2018)
Compete at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. (isu.org)
