She sustained a knee injury in March 2017 after falling from her horse during a competition in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America. The injury forced her to undergo surgery three months later. She returned to competition in March 2018. (liberation.fr, 02 Dec 2019; Facebook page, 29 Mar 2019; Equipe de France de Pentathlon Moderne Facebook page, 23 Mar 2018; amateursportif.com, 20 Nov 2018)

She took up the sport at age 13 in Talence, France. (liberation.fr, 02 Dec 2019)

She began practising swimming at a young age in Hagetmau, France. "It was convenient to learn how to swim when you live near the beach." She later followed her older sister and joined the pentathlon section of the Centre of Resources, Expertise and Sports Performance [CREPS] in Talence, France. "I wanted to practise horse riding since I was a child, but my parents didn't want me to do it because it was so expensive. Pentathlon was a good way to evade their prohibition. Pentathlon got into my head and it never went away." (liberation.fr, 02 Dec 2019)

To compete at both the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games. (liberation.fr, 02 Dec 2019, 15 Apr 2020)

Winning two golds and a bronze medal at the 2018 European Championships in Szekesfehervar, Hungary. (amateursportif.com, 20 Nov 2018)

Philosophy:

"My temper is my strength. My favorite discipline is fencing and I think my temper has something to do with it. I hate losing." (RATP group YouTube channel, 02 Aug 2019)

RETURN FROM SURGERY
She considers her 2017 knee injury allowed her to return to competition at a higher level, winning three medals at the 2018 European Championships in Szekesfehervar, Hungary. "It is true that my comeback was so weird. I do not know how to explain it. Maybe my body needed this break to return even stronger. It was also important all the rehabilitation and fitness process that followed the surgery. My strong character played a huge role. It was not easy, but today I'm proud of what I did. I also think that these eight months of stop have allowed me to see things differently. I enjoy more the competition because I understand that it might have been finished suddenly. So, I take advantage of all that high performance sport has to offer me." (amateursportif.com, 20 Nov 2018)
