General Interest

General
RIO DISAPPOINTMENT
She says the memory of placing 10th in the 200m at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro motivates her to produce a better performance at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. "As soon as that race [in Rio] was over I was like, 'I'm going to get back on that track and do everything in my power to get on the podium [in Tokyo]'." (abc30.com, 21 Mar 2020)

HERITAGE
Her father has distant cousins with the Prandini name living in Italy. In 2014, she turned down an offer from the Italian National Olympic Committee that guaranteed her a place on the Italian athletics team at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro if she took up dual citizenship of Italy and the United States of America. "It's an honour to represent any country, I am so honoured to be here wearing 'USA' and living out something that I have been dreaming about ever since I was a little girl."
