“I messed up my running back, so I told everyone I couldn’t go for the bronze, and they all re-mobilized me. They told me to breathe, to forget Rio (she had failed in 4th place), and fight for everyone around me, confided Manon Brunet after his match. My relatives also told me to make myself happy because it is the Olympics. I am happy to have this medal even if I still want to complain! “
