I don’t know her, just of her, so why are my eyes welling up with tears of joy?
She earned every stoke and every red cent that comes with the win.
Now she can erase all doubts knowing she has everything it takes to be and continue to be the Winner we all knew she was from the time we saw her in the Olympics.
My heart, my Heart, MY HEART is with this woman!
Congratulations, Ms. Atkinson.
