Quotes
I am fighting always until the end, Nothing is lost until the finish of the competition. I knew that I would fight and I knew that I would throw more, that's what I knew.
This is my first medal after the second baby, so it is actually a long time, and it's what I told myself before the sixth throw - that I have to show my boys how to fight,
That's what I told myself. And then they ran to me and it was the most beautiful moment in my career, I guess.
