FURTHER EDUCATION
After completing a bachelor's degree in sports science at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, she went on to study a master's degree in management at the same university and graduated in 2020. "Against the advice of many, I decided to write my master's thesis even though it would have coincided exactly with preparing for the [2020] Olympic Games. With the postponement of the Olympic Games to 2021, it has worked out perfectly and I am in the fortunate situation that I have now completed my master's degree and can fully concentrate on the sport for 2021. I think, as an athlete, it is very important to invest in education, because success in sports is naturally limited to a certain age."
