Other information |
EYES ON PARIS
She intends to continue competing for another Olympic cycle, and hopes to win another Olympic medal at the 2024 Games in Paris. "If I had come home with a medal [from the 2020 Games in Tokyo], I might not have to set a goal for Paris. So, yes, if all goes well and I can handle it, I want to go to Paris." (origo.hu, 08 Oct 2021; ripost.hu, 30 Jul 2021)
BUTTERFLY FOCUS
In 2018 she began focusing more on the 200m butterfly. She had been disappointed with her performances in freestyle events at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. She won her first world title in the 200m butterfly at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, Republic of Korea. "I had initially focused on the freestyle for 2018 but realised I was going better in the butterfly. I was enjoying it more and was happier." (Facebook page, 13 Jan 2020; nemzetisport.hu, 21 Dec 2019; dailynewshungary.com, 25 Jul 2019; yorkdispatch.com, 25 Jul 2019) |

She had to withdraw from the 2020 National Championships in Kaposvar, Hungary, due to a thyroid issue. She had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis earlier that year. (nemzetisport.hu, 09 Dec 2020)
Her training was affected when she suffered from a prolonged virus in 2014. (mob.hu, 25 Nov 2015)
She broke three ribs after stumbling and falling over a beam in 2011. The injury forced her to miss the 2011 European Short Course Championships in Szczecin, Poland. (hungarianambiance.com, 24 Nov 2011) |
