Very chilled interview considering by Schiever!
I like her positivity. No point crying about it.

I said when it counted. She's been uncatchable until the race in which it counted the most.haha - hardly "failed" - she's barely put a foot wrong and simply got beat.... It was hardly a fail.

It's the Olympics. Look at Hodgkinson, she's out to win gold as was not happy with silver in previous races.Why?
When you win every heat and then have a single shot in the medal race, I guess you have to have a happy go lucky attitude, anything could happen in a single ~35sec race.It's the Olympics. Look at Hodgkinson, she's out to win gold as was not happy with silver in previous races.
This was the reigning Olympic Champion who didn't seem bothered.

That's why I had a grump on, I was more gutted for her than she seemed to be.Dam gutted for Beth she was dominating so much throughout, I think BMX should be a few laps![]()
Find it odd all the previous rounds are averaged over multiple runs then he final is a one shot job. Thought her post ride interview was great.Dam gutted for Beth she was dominating so much throughout, I think BMX should be a few laps![]()
If you want to see a great interview, hunt down Sakakibara's. I would link but there's a couple of f bombs (appropriate f bombs).Find it odd all the previous rounds are averaged over multiple runs then he final is a one shot job. Thought her post ride interview was great.
I hadn’t heard that bit of back story, it really is a bonkers event the speed and the intensity is so high. I still think the final should be averaged across three runs to make it a better contest.If you want to see a great interview, hunt down Sakakibara's.

A hell of a story she and her brother have.
A very deserving winner.
E: In short (that doesn't do it justice).
Her and her brother raced together since kids, he had an accident racing in 2020 and had to relearn to walk and talk again after being in a coma.
In Tokyo she was clipped and was knocked unconscious so, understandably after what happened to her brother, quit the sport.
She came back and won last night.
Absolute guts of the girl is awesome.
It's a particularly unforgiving sport to have a single race final, prone to favourites missing out.Find it odd all the previous rounds are averaged over multiple runs then he final is a one shot job. Thought her post ride interview was great.
