She dominated the European Orienteering Championships in Portugal where she won gold in both the sprint and in the long distance. She also won the World Cup sprint race ahead of WOC in Italy – a very technical sprint in Imatra, Finland. After that she achieved three gold medals and a bronze medal in the 2014 World Orienteering Championships in Asiago-Lavarone showing her incredible talent.^[2]

She set a new course record at the DoloMyths Run,^[6] finished second at Sierre-Zinal^[7] and won the Ring of Steall Skyrace, also in a course record.^[8] She then won the Annapurna Trail Marathon which gave her the overall women's victory in the Golden Trail World Series.^[9]
