In October, she competed at the delayed 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, an experience she said she enjoyed as she liked seeing competitors from other sports.[4] She finished 13th in the all-around final.[7]
At the 2024 Asian Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, she took 9th place in the all-around. She qualified to the ball final, where she finished 8th.[8][9] In June, she competed at the Milan World Cup and finished in 33rd place in the all-around.
