Personal information

Hanna has been running since she was 15 years old. She discovered her talent during a local cross country race and from then on, she loved being a cross country runner. In the youth categories, Hanna achieved some nice podium places at national championships (cross country, 5000m, 10000m). From her twenties, she also took part in road races and discovered that long distance running suited her. A few years later, she ran marathons, which almost lead to a selection for the Olympic Games in Rio 2016. Later, she was selected for the World Championships over the marathon distance in Doha 2019.
