Ginny says the good thing about the sport is that as long as you get to the finals, your previous scores won’t matter allowing you to focus more on what’s ahead. Consequently, she was able to secure a gold for the country.

An athlete’s state of mind, as Ginny’s coach said in an interview, can dictate the effects of the team’s training. Hard work and dedication as well as a steady mind will win the gold for any athlete. But most of all, the 2016 Brazil Olympics have just begun and there are more sports events to look forward to.
