“So, I’m always of the expectation that it’s going to be competitive no matter where I’m at, whether it’s a track meet or world championship,” she added.
The three-time Olympic champion added that this being her final Olympic Games, she has enjoyed herself, going to watch a rugby game for the first time.

“This is my final Olympic Games and I think this time around I have been having a good experience with the Olympic spirit and just meeting people and yesterday I went to rugby…it was my first time going for a rugby match,” she added.
