In 2017 she was reclassified from an S4 athlete to S3 after her condition worsened. She also switched from training in the pool twice a day to just once, while increasing the amount of mental training sessions, such as meditation, to twice a day. "I couldn't finish my training sessions because of the pain and muscle weakness. Overtraining caused a lot of muscle fatigue and problems with the diaphragm. Doctors told me that if I got close to overtraining, I should be careful because I could lose my mobility."
