INJURIES DURING LOCKDOWN
She blamed herself for getting hip and knee injuries during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. "When the lockdown started, I was super motivated to still give it my all every day. I ran, cycled, skipped rope, did box jumps etc. I never took into account that my body is not used to such high impact exercises all the time. When I was swimming, I did all these exercises at most three times a week." (teamsa.co.za, 04 Jun 2020)
