Start:

At age 13 she discovered she had a talent for throwing events. (paralympic.org, 04 Jul 2018)

Reason:

"I was better at throwing than other athletics events. I started with hammer and got into discus and shot put slightly later. By the time I was 15, I had realised this wasn't just a hobby for me. I wanted to pursue this seriously. I knew I could win medals internationally, but would have to train very hard." (paralympic.org, 04 Jul 2018)

General
POSTPONEMENT RAISES BAR
She said that prior to the postponement of the Paralympic Games in Tokyo she was aiming to win any medal at the event, but following the postponement she believes the extra year of preparation means she is capable of winning gold. "I was not disappointed with the postponement as it gave me another year to progress, even if that means my opponents have the same opportunity. Nevertheless, before the lockdown my goal was simply to make the podium, but now with an extra year of training I think I should be aiming for the top step of the podium. But 2021 is going to be a difficult year, seeing how the training situation and competition calendar plays out, plus it will be my final year of studies." (fondshs.fr, 05 Jul 2020)

RIO EXPERIENCE
She said the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro were a turning point for both her sporting and psychological development. "I wasn't training enough before Rio. It was after that unique experience that I realised the value of training, how much harder I'd have to work to compete at that level. I didn't realise the scale of the event in the beginning, how big everything would be. But as the days went by, I started getting really stressed. It was difficult." (paralympic.org, 04 Jul 2018)
