Biography
She studied at the STU Academic Sport Centre in Bratislava and competed as a member of Naša atletika Bratislava under the coach Igor Gavenčiak. As a 14 year-old in January 2020, she broke the Slovak age-group record for the 60 metres hurdles, running 8.73 seconds to break the previous record set ten years previously by Monika Baňovičová.[2][3] In March of that year, she also set the Slovakia age-group record in the 60 metres, running 7.81 seconds.[4] By 2021, she had won twelve Slovak age-group championship titles, and also set twelve Slovak age-group national records.[5] She was later coached by Peter Bottlík.[6][7]
She opened her 2024 outdoor season in the 100 metres hurdles with a wind-aided 14.06 seconds in Košice in May 2024.[8] She took part in the 100 metres hurdles at the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima, Peru in August 2025.[9]
She was runner up to Viktoria Forster in the 60 metres hurdles at the Slovak Indoor Championships in February 2025. [10] She also placed fifth in the 60 metres final at the same championships.[11] In June 2025, she improved her personal best for the 100 metres hurdles to 13.25 seconds to move to fourth on the Slovak all-time list.[12] Later that month, she lowered her personal best to 13.04 seconds (+1.9 m/s) whilst competing in Banská Bystrica.[13]
She won a bronze medal in the 100 meters hurdles at the 2025 European Athletics U23 Championships in Bergen, Norway, running just 0.01 outside her lifetime best with a time of 13.05 seconds into a headwind (-1.7m/s) from an outside lane, having been only the eighth fastest qualifier from the semi-final, although she had previously ran the second fastest time in the preliminary round prior to the semi-finals.[14][15][16] Later that month, she was a semi-finalist at the 2025 University Games in Germany.[17]
Čorejová set a personal best of 8.07 seconds for the 60 metres metres hurdles in Vienna on 21 February 2026. The time moved her to third on the Slovakian all-time list.[18] The following week, she won the 60m hurdles title at the Slovak Indoor Athletics Championships with a time of 8.08 seconds in the final.[19] She equalled her personal best the following month in Vienna, again running 8.07 seconds at the same venue as the previous month.[20] She competed in the 60 metres hurdles at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland.[21][22]
