Schulting was once again crowned overall champion after winning every single race she started in at both the 2021 European Championships and 2021 World Championships, though many prominent countries didn't attend or boycotted the latter for various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite web|title=Superieure Schulting wint alle afstanden en prolongeert allroundtitel op WK|url=https://nos.nl/l/2371639|access-date=14 May 2021|website=nos.nl|date=7 March 2021 |language=nl}}
