HOME COMFORTS
She got extra inspiration competing in front of a home crowd at the 2018 World Series event in Copenhagen, Denmark. "It's not very often that I have the chance to compete in my own country. It is always special to be on home ground and the fact I don't have to travel too far is also nice. You get more excited by hearing people cheering from the stands, so the extra support has definitely helped." (paralympic.org, 28 Feb 2018)
