My goal in the short term is to qualify and perform at the World Championships in Europe next season.
My long-term goal is the 2020 and 2024 Olympics as well as to qualify for the National Team U23 World Championships 2018 and for the 2018 World University Championships. It's ambitious as a goal, but thanks to the specialists around me and the support I receive, I believe that I can reach it.
In my workouts, I have several goals: Improving my starts, my stamina, my physical strength, etc. My main goal in the high season is to increase my speed on the water. And my goal out of season is to increase my muscle mass.
