RETIREMENT
She announced her retirement from competitive speed skating in April 2020. "It became clear to me that I want to take a new path in my life and that is why I cannot and will not give 100% to competitive sport in the next two years. I thought it over carefully, since we can't train [due to the COVID-19 pandemic], I had a lot of time. I didn't make a decision based on my gut." (maxsolar.de, 08 Apr 2020; faz.net, 01 Apr 2020)
