SURPRISE RIO QUALIFICATION
She met the qualifying standard for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in the 800m despite her main focus being on the 1500m for the Games. "The amazing thing is that I qualified in the 800m even though I had done no specific training. I use the 800m to complement and improve my performance in the 1500m." She did not progress past the 800m heats in Rio, and returned her focus to the 1500m in the lead-up to the 2020 Games in Tokyo. (4run.ro, 13 Jun 2016; gsp.ro, 22 Jul 2019)
