HIATUS
After competing at the 2010 World Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands, she took a five-year break from the sport. This was due to her undergoing hand surgery, and also because her strongest event [S5 50m] had been removed from the Paralympic programme. She returned to competitive para-swimming in 2015 due to the S5 50m event being reinstated to the programme. (ceskobudejovicky.denik.cz, 08 Feb 2016)
