gold medals in Paris she's also locked
into her studies and personal growth she
graduated from Harvard with a degree in
neurobiology then a master's in public
policy from the University of Texas I

you know you can never really expect to
do that you know at this level at this
because everyone is so talented and
incredible what they do but I do know
I've been training for years for this
moment and so I really took advantage of
that now neurobiology degree from
Harvard masters from UT in public health
and by the way you volunteer at a
hospital I mean how powerful is the
human mind it really is powerful and I
learned that in college um I have a
really strong foundation on that and
that was one of the reasons why I wanted
to pursue neurobiology as my major and
having that deep understanding of it I
think has really helped me in my track
career as well because I understand what
it takes to get to this level I
understand the mindset I understand all
of those little things that make a big
difference and the mindset is a
difference between you know being on the
podium and not incredible now is true

even like being in the stands because
she gets so nervous so she did actually

comfort of family at the at the
hospitality but it makes her more
comfortable to do it that way and what
was it like having fans in general
around this time giving you all that
hype oh my goodness it was amazing I
remember back in the fall I was shooting
a commercial with Toyota and they had um

amazing it would have feel to to share
these special moments with them how
