General
TAKING UP TRIATHLON AND PARALYMPIC DREAM
She originally competed in Para swimming but stepped away from competitive Para sport after failing to qualify for the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens. She took up Para triathlon in 2014 with a view to competing in the sport at the Paralympic Games. After missing out on qualification for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, she set her sights on competing at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. "I was only two and a half years in the sport of triathlon [in 2016], it was very little time. I didn't have enough experience. Based on my knowledge, abilities, and state of strength, I might have had a place there, but the qualities fell due to inexperience. After a failed qualifier in 2016, I entered the next Paralympic period with new impetus." (ulloi129.hu, 06 Jul 2021; insidethegames.biz, 06 Jul 2021; levaypetra.com, 01 Jan 2021)
