First, congratulations to this great accomplishment! Also, I really thought it was cool to hear this in a first-person, "in her own words" format. Brilliant! We all know it takes a huge element of fearlessness to do these dives. So maybe I shouldnt be at all surprised that she would take on the added "fearlessness" of publicly telling her story! I have to add this. Earlier this fall, I read a book with oral histories from past US Olympic gold medal winners. (For some reason, this fall I was getting excited about Olympics ) Of course through these years, there is a rich history of US diving success. So hearing here this first-hand story from a diving champion reminded me of my recently reading about Greg Louganis, Pat Mccormick, and some other great divers telling their story!
