Elizabeta was not happy with her performance at the beginning of the year.

 

“I had a bad start of the season. I struggled with the virus infection and I needed almost a month to recover. However at the final of the Polish league last week we took the title with KTS Enea Siarka Tarnobrzeg and I am very happy with my performance. Things are going well. “
