No matter what she does in the rest of her career and the rest of her life, she has already done something for us all that has made a difference." (biathlon23.wordpress.com, 12 Sep 2019)
"In a sport full of ups and downs, dependent on both skill and luck, chance is a part of our lives. Without Fortune’s favor, we cannot succeed, and she is a fickle mistress indeed." (nbcolympics.com, 7 Feb 2018)
