“Swimming: thank you for letting me dream, teaching me to fight, to try, to persevere, to sacrifice, to discipline and many other things. I gave you a part of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, because I had the best experiences of my life, a lot of joy, I met friends from different countries that I will always carry in my heart and I was given unique opportunities. This is not goodbye, this is: see you soon,” the athlete wrote on her Instagram profile shortly after her unsuccessful performance in Paris.
