DUAL DISCIPLINE
After the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro she began competing internationally in the sabre discipline, in addition to foil. She has expressed a desire to compete in the two disciplines at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. "My goal is to compete in Tokyo both in foil and sabre events. It's a challenge, perhaps impossible, but I believe in it. I also believe that the sabre can help me a lot with the foil. I've completely changed my training as the two weapons are completely different. Sabre competitions are very fast-paced, with very fast attacks and little time between attacks. The pace is very quick, which I am not used to. It's not easy to mentally get into the match that quickly and to stay focused when everything happens so fast. But I like it, it's exciting."
