EARLY DAYS
She says she struggled at an early age with the pressure of being the daughter of two international athletes. "It was not easy to handle. At age 11, people began telling me how talented I was, that I would become a champion. Few were in similar situation to understand what it is like to have top athletes as parents. Many people expected me to do such great things that others might never have. You only get the most out of it when you want it, not when everyone around you, even your neighbour, talks about you being an Olympic champion." (origo.hu, 18 Mar 2019)

SANCTION
In May 2015 she received a 10-month suspension from the Hungarian Canoe Federation after she tested positive for cocaine out of competition at a training camp in Dunavarsany, Hungary.
