Philosophy:

"I genuinely have learned never to give up in this sport. I learned that literally this year [2021] because I was about to give up and I didn't, and now I am here. So, that moment in time, that you realise that you can actually be the best in the world really changes your whole mental mindset on everything." (digitaljournal.com, 22 Jul 2021)

POSITIVES FROM PANDEMIC
The postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed her sufficient time to recover from a number of injuries. "I think COVID really set me up for success, just because I wasn't ready for the Olympics in 2020 due to injuries and due to sitting out. My body wasn't ready to be at that top level. I sat in COVID, I figured out who I was and just tuned in to my body and what I needed to do for the upcoming season. And luckily, my season played out really well." (cbsnews.com, 15 Jul 2021)
