General
TEAMMATE
She teamed up with Viktoria Schwarz in 2013. Schwarz missed the women's K2 500m event at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio due to injuries she sustained after sleepwalking off a balcony and Lehaci had to switch partner to Yvonne Schuring at the 2016 Games. "It was my first time at the Olympics [in 2016]. A huge thing, but then I was not there with my actual partner. That felt wrong. Tokyo will be my second Olympics, but my first one with Vicki in the K2, she is my best friend, so I can't wait to be racing there." (insidethegames.biz, 22 May 2021; redbull.com, 14 Apr 2018)

She moved with her family from Romania to Austria in 1994. She became an Austrian citizen in 1999. (laola1.at, 28 Jul 2016)
