“The only thing I advocate for is for equality for female athletes because we train just as hard, and we're always having a lot of head-to-head clashes, always competing against each other.”
“It's not about where you're from: it's about how to deliver.”
“Education is paramount in light of so many things that are out there.”
“There will always be a lot of pressure to cope with.”
