Other information RETIREMENT
In February 2021 she announced her retirement from fencing. "I have made a difficult decision that had been hanging around my head for too long. I will leave what has been my life for the last 20 years, I will leave high-level competition and consequently fencing. It has given me a lot over so many years and I have learned a lot. A chapter in this book finishes, but a new one begins with the same enthusiasm with which that little girl once began. Thank you all for your support all this time." (Facebook page, 10 Feb 2021; Instagram profile, 10 Feb 2021)
