The Jewish woman explained that she has gradually become accustomed to what it means to be an Olympic medalist after speaking to the media and being recognized on the street.
“Little by little I am getting used to what it means to be a Mexican medalist. It is not something I am used to and I have had to learn many things, talk to the media, have people in front of me. Now people recognize me in the street, my life has changed a lot.”
Finally, she said she will take a break to begin preparing for the next competitions and with the goal of exchanging silver for gold in Los Angeles in 2028.
