TOKYO POSTPONEMENT
She says the one-year postponement of the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo due to the COVID-19 pandemic gave her additional time to work on her game and improve her chances of qualifying for the Games. "The 2020 Games in Tokyo has been a dream since 2015. That was my goal, but as it got closer, I realised that I hadn't made the ranking. I have been able to focus on improving my technique and game plans, which I have not had much time to think about before." (teamnor.no, 17 Aug 2021; newsbeezer.com, 25 Jul 2021)
