Several nights ago an American Swimmer won the Bronze Medal in a final … then was disqualified for turning the wrong way in the race.
It was devastating for her. She recently posted on Social Media this statement (bear in mind, she is 23 years old), “Still Proud. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent me such kind messages. I am so grateful to be surrounded by people who care so much! Despite the DQ, this Olympics has been an experience that has left me feeling happy and fulfilled, and I will cherish that forever. After all, everything happens for a reason and there is so much more to be excited about for me in this sport. With love, Alex.”
Wow! That’s maturity and sportsmanship!
