With a little distance to the bronze – a few hours – it’s not just the bronze that makes her proud.
– This Olympics I am in touch with myself, my feelings and am present. I can stop and remind myself of the achievement itself, the journey here, all the years. It feels very nice, I can enjoy it.
Will there be more Olympics?
– Yes, but it will be, as it looks today. I want to do one or two more Olympics.
