Here’s our belated news on her 2025 world-record-breaking effort. We managed to be slightly less-belated for her 2026 world-record breaking effort.
And those are just the records we’ve tracked on this here profile page!
Maybe this website’s mild-mannered approach to the news of her accomplishments unintentionally reflects a perception of her mild-mannered alter-ego persona.
