TECHNIQUE CHANGE
In 2020 she began working with coach Brian Blutreich after moving to the United States of America to study for her master's degree. Blutreich competed in discus at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. "He's been working on my basics a lot, especially in the shot. In discus we've been working on details. The biggest thing he's been working on is the reverse [throw] because I've always thrown with a non-reverse. It's very clear now that I throw a lot further with the reverse even though I'm not an expert in it yet." (azcentral.com, 21 May 2021; thesundevils.com, 29 Jul 2016)
