My Olympic Journey

Three Olympic Games. A gold medal. A devastating crash. And everything in between. My Olympic journey wasn’t a straight line—it was a test of mindset, grit, and growth. Each Games taught me something different: how to fail, how to fight, and how to find purpose when everything changes. Here’s how it all unfolded.

At 19, I arrived in London ranked #2 in the world—young, fearless, and ready to win it all. I crushed the heats and semis, entering the final as the top seed and favourite for gold. But when it mattered most, the pressure won. I finished 7th out of 8. That loss hit hard—it sent me into a spiral of doubt, disappointment, and depression. London taught me my first big lesson: talent isn’t enough if your mindset cracks under pressure.
I came back stronger, not just physically, but mentally. In the four years after London, I trained with one goal—redemption. Just months before the Games, I broke my wrist. But I fought my way onto the team and raced in Rio with it still technically broken. This time, I wasn’t the favourite—I was the 7th seed in the final. But when the gate dropped, I trusted my instincts. Faced with the choice to settle for silver or go for gold, I took the risk—and made the pass. That moment was everything. I didn’t just win a race. I won the fight with myself.
I showed up to Tokyo in peak form, even after a one-year COVID delay. I cruised through the early rounds and entered the final as the #1 seed. But I never made it to the finish line. A crash with another rider left me unconscious on the track. I woke up five days later in a hospital, with no memory of my last Olympic race—and four traumatic brain injuries. My racing career ended that day, but my story didn’t. Tokyo gave me perspective: success isn’t always a medal. Sometimes, it’s surviving. Sometimes, it’s starting over. And sometimes, it’s finding a new way forward.
