“I’m very grateful, I’m very happy to be on that top step. Hearing that hymn just brought chills to my body. The journey has been very difficult, there have been many ups and downs.

The athlete recognized that her victory could inspire the chance to compete at the Olympics next year, in Paris: “It has been a lot to overcome, and I am very grateful to have not only the physical capacity, but also the mental capacity to overcome setbacks.
