This Olympic Victor Is A Harvard Grad And Neurobiologist
The sprinter said that it has always been a dream of hers to represent the United States in the Olympics.
Just over a month ago, she had no idea if she was going to be able to participate in the Tokyo Games, but the bronze medalist won the women’s 200 meters final during the Olympic trials in Oregon, earning a spot on the U.S. team, CBS reported.
“It’s such a long journey, and so many days and hours of mental and physical preparation. And it just all came together in that one moment,” she said.
Although the sprinter didn’t win the gold this time, she told The Washington Post that she hopes to do so in the future.
“I also want more for myself, and I want to come with the gold at some point,” she said. “So definitely looking forward to the next few years and being a different athlete.”
