Other information FAMILY SPORT
She and her seven siblings were encouraged to take up fencing by their mother. "The fact that we all do this sport is a source of motivation. When my siblings see that I am doing well, it boosts them. Top-level sport is a way of life that not everyone understands. With us, things are easy. Everyone can share with the other. Eight siblings who live a common passion, it's rare. When we arrive at a national competition all together, it immediately makes a lot of noise. Our parents and grandparents follow all of our results." (rhonefm.ch, 27 Sep 2022; laliberte.ch, 21 Dec 2020)
