It's crazy to be the first woman to medal in women's hammer [for the U.S.]. It's crazy, especially with all the greats that have kind of come before me.

For me, hammer throw feels like a dance that I get to refine every time I practice. The beauty in it comes from the mental and physical growth I’ve had while doing this. And it looks really cool!

It feels great coming here and finally seeing the environment; it makes me more and more proud of coming from Nigeria. I am proud of the country and I am grateful that I am from Nigeria.

I love to lay down on my comfy couch and watch a movie or binge watch a show and eat some salted popcorn OR getting to catch up with a friend over FaceTime because none of my closest friends live near me at the moment. Basically, I like to get back to my apartment and not leave.
