OLYMPIC POSTPONEMENT
She says the one-year postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to the COVID-19 pandemic allowed her more time to recover from a plantar fasciitis injury in her left foot. "I needed to stop after months dragging the injury. I had the same problem for a long time, going to several doctors and it was difficult for us to solve it. For this reason, the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to the COVID-19 pandemic suited me well from a sports point of view, as it was good for me to rest and recharge batteries."

CLUB JOURNEY
She began her club career in Spain with Roquetas, Alicante and Itxako before playing abroad for RK Krim Mercator in Slovenia, OGC Nice in France and CSM Bucuresti in Romania.
