2013 for Estonia, European Cup in Quarteira, Portugal (Athlete, 29 Jun 2016)

She began swimming at age 10, and had also taken up middle-distance running. In 2006 her swimming coach noticed that she could be a good triathlete, so she entered her first pool triathlon at age 14 in 2007 in Estonia and won the national championship in her age category.

In 2017 she joined a training group led by coach Paulo Sousa. The group was originally based in the United States of America before moving to Portugal. (Eesti Triatlon Facebook page, 15 Jun 2021; sport.err.ee, 20 Jul 2020)

TRAINING FOCUS
She believes swimming is the discipline she needs to improve most. "There is always something to improve, that is part of the fascination of triathlon. I'm not the best swimmer. Sometimes I have some thoughts about the others and their performance in the water before the start, so I'm working on it." (jooksja.ee, 20 Aug 2018; tenerifetoptraining.com, 10 Mar 2017)

Milestones

She became the first female triathlete to represent Estonia at the Olympic Games when she competed at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. (SportsDeskOnline, 12 Jul 2021; eok.ee, 19 May 2016)
