The World Championships ended and I’d like to share a few thoughts.
My dream came true when I won a gold medal, and suddenly I felt such a huge relief. That’s probably why I look like I’m crying in every photo!🥇🥹

I worked really hard for this, so the tension I’d been carrying since last year finally dropped when I crossed the finish line and saw that I was in first place. I was absolutely shitting my pants when I realized I got touches that added 4 seconds to my run.

These championships were amazing on so many levels. First of all, I just had a really great time. My teammates and paddlers in general are awesome. It’s crazy how many people I could share my joy with🥹🩷

You know, I really lack patience, so I’m incredibly grateful that my dad and my coach have so much of it.
Right, my dad/support/training partner/coach, this man is just amazing. He manages every problem I find unsolvable, puts up with my moods, and is simply the best support I could ever ask for🥰❤️
And my coach, the one who stayed with me after training sessions to fulfill my crazy ambitions of trying every gate combination, and who can explain a course like no one else🫶🏼✨

This year was full of sessions on all kinds of courses around the world, and I’m so grateful for that. It’s truly wonderful to be part of the national team.
Big thanks to @pzkaj for making this possible🇵🇱

Great congratulations to @barca.ondrackova and @mina.blum.e. We are real princesses girls👸🩷
