FUTURE PLANS
She plans to take a break from beach volleyball following the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "My wish was to focus on the Olympic season and possibly take a medal in Tokyo before turning my attention to my next big goal, which is to start my own family. However, even though the Games have been postponed for a full year, I have been able to regroup and am definitely going to stay around to compete. After that, I will focus on starting a family and maybe come back to beach volleyball afterwards. We will see." (cevsca.com, 28 May 2020)

PARTNERSHIP
She teamed up with playing partner Barbora Hermannova in August 2015. "We both wanted a partner change and felt we might be the best fit for each other, so we wanted to give it a try. At first, we needed to get used to each other and learn how to handle each other's personalities. Every season something new came up that we had to figure out - struggles, injuries, setbacks, even the big wins. That's our strength. We can sometimes recover from really tough moments, as we like to play together, we like to play for each other and that makes us strong and unpredictable."
