She took up cycling in 2016. (atni.be, 21 Oct 2016)

She used to compete in athletics but decided to focus on cycling due to injuries. "Over time I enjoyed myself more on the bike than when I was running because of the many injuries I had to deal with. I didn't want to give my frustrations the upper hand. That's why I'd rather take on a new challenge and take up another passion of mine." (atni.be, 21 Oct 2016)
