“Before the Olympics, I wasn’t sure if my injured foot would allow me to compete, but I gave it my all. Others didn’t give up on me, so I couldn’t give up on myself.”

“I haven’t decided what I’ll do next, but for now, I’m going to enjoy a life without alarm clocks. Thank you all again for being part of my journey. The TTY era has come to an end, but I hope the spirit of TTY stays with you always,” the post concluded.
