She won her gold medal in the Bahamas.
It was you know, a dream to her come true uh.
She won silver in India, um and honestly she’d love, seeing the culture, the religion she loved.
How religiously harmonized it was the same street would have a mosque, a synagogue and a church, and if they could do it, why can’t we um honestly, a bomb had only recently dropped on the same location on the uh O’Connor was staying up for the games, the Level of security was the same as in Iraq.
