In October 2001 Hanna moved to France where she first competed for the club Melun,[1] but then changed to CS Clichy. In 2005, she married Arnaud Lorgeril, a French competitive swimmer whom she knew from 2002, and changed her name and nationality; thus at the 2008 Olympics she competed for France as Shcherba-Lorgeril.[ She speaks Russian and French and works as a swimming coach at CS Clichy.]
