She said, “I was resilient over the last few years, that medal was years in the making. I think what sets me apart from other athletes in the sport is just that ability to bounce back from losing, that ability to learn from each year before, and staying consistent, committed, staying driven, and it paid off.”
“Tokyo Olympics was such a great experience for me. I went in suddenly as gold medal favorite, and I got a bronze in the 200m, and I think a lot of people see it as a failure for me but I love that medal, it’s my favorite medal,” Thomas further added, reflecting on her Tokyo Olympics performances a few years back.
