Tiden mellan de två tävlingarna har varit tuff för 17-åringen som i början av 2022 drabbades av ett magvirus efter en utlandsresa. Hon tvingades till läkarbesök efter läkarbesök och ett tag var det så illa att hennes kropp inte kunde ta till sig näring. Hon tappade både kraft och vikt, och av förklarliga skäl blev träningen extremt begränsad.[The time between the two competitions has been tough for the 17-year-old, who at the beginning of 2022 suffered a stomach virus after a trip abroad. She was forced to doctor's visit after doctor's visit and for a while it was so bad that her body could not absorb nutrition. She lost both strength and weight, and for obvious reasons exercise became extremely limited.]
Jennifer blev bästa svenska i mångkampen och slutar på en 54:e plats. Det är en fantastisk prestation med tanke på att hon endast haft ett halvår av träning inför årets VM.[Jennifer became the best Swede in the all-around and finishes in 54th place. It is a fantastic performance considering that she only had half a year of training before this year's WC.]
