COACHING CHANGE
In August 2020 she left coach Bruno Gajer to return to her former coach Djamel Boudebibah. (lequipe.fr, 27 Jun 2020)

MATERNITY BREAK
She skipped the 2019 season in order to give birth to her first son Cameron in April 2019. "A few years ago women dared not give birth during their careers because it was frowned upon, people said that it was not possible to come back to competitive sport and be successful. But athletes have shown that it is possible and today, it is accepted. Being a mother makes me feel a lot more fulfilled than before and I want my son to be proud of me. That gives me strength."
