CONSIDERING RETIREMENT
She considered quitting the sport in 2016 a few months ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, following the death of her grandfather with whom she had a close relationship. "I did not want to continue training and was ready to leave it all, but my family insisted that he would have wanted me to keep on fighting. Now I understand that being in the Olympic Games in the best tribute I can pay to him." (Athlete, 02 Aug 2016) |
