RETIREMENT PLANS
She was planning to end her career in 2020 after the Olympic Games, however as the Games were postponed she decided to continue for another year. "Honestly, I cried when the Olympics were postponed. I was planning to finish my career after Tokyo 2020. When they pushed it another year, it was really hard. I had plans, life plans, work plans! I wanted to start my master's in architecture. So, my whole life got postponed too." (insidesynchro.org, 03 Mar 2021)
