Lost appeal against her non-selection for Rio 2016 Olympic Games, which she claimed was because of her age. "I know it will not change me not going to Rio, but the selection policy that is in place ahead of the Tokyo Olympics (2020) will be a major factor in whether I decide to continue competing until then."
