IN THE FAMILY
Her older sister Lena was Olympic champion in modern pentathlon at the 2008 Games in Beijing, while her twin sister Rabea was selected as a reserve for Germany in the women's marathon at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "Lena] showed us that you can create a mix of sporting and professional careers. We are in a different sport, but the look and the tips of a successful modern pentathlete help us enormously. Twins are always compared - no matter what. But we prefer to do it in such a way that one participates in a competition and the other supports and takes care of everything else."

FURTHER EDUCATION
In 2020 she began studying for a doctorate in sports medicine. (spiegel.de, 17 Apr 2021; laufen.de, 05 Mar 2021)
