Biography
She studied at the STU Academic Sport Centre in Bratislava and competed as a member of Naša atletika Bratislava under the coach Igor Gavenčiak. As a 14 year-old in January 2020, she broke the Slovak age-group record for the 60 metres hurdles, running 8.73 seconds to break the previous record set ten years previously by Monika Baňovičová.[2][3] In March of that year, she also set the Slovakia age-group record in the 60 metres, running 7.81 seconds.[4] By 2021, she had won twelve Slovak age-group championship titles, and also set twelve Slovak age-group national records.[5] She was later coached by Peter Bottlík.[6][7]
She opened her 2024 outdoor season in the 100 metres hurdles with a wind-aided 14.06 seconds in Košice in May 2024.[8] She took part in the 100 metres hurdles at the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima, Peru in August 2025.[9]
