LAST OLYMPIC GAMES
Having competed at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, she says that the 2020 Games in Tokyo will be her final Olympic appearance. "Honestly, I can't believe that I am still rowing for this long. This is actually four Olympic cycles for me, and three Olympics. I missed out on the 2012 Games. It's been a really long road, but I still feel like I am improving, learning a lot, and getting faster, so why not keep going [until the 2020 Olympic Games]? This is definitely my last year, my last Games. So third time's the charm, hopefully." (rowingnews.com, 02 Jul 2021)
