@ThatDisha I wonder why she likes boxing when it's a tough sport, and she got hit on her face

Thank you and I don't know if she will get any prizes because I don't hear that often, although they have a tribute party by our Prime Minister and President.

@cacay1 I have no idea, I think they don't have any rewards here. There's no mention in the news, but maybe they will get support.

Definitely, virus can't stop the happiness of the athletes. But they deserve it because they work hard in their training, all moments of their life are dedicated to their training.

@kareng That's right, and I heard that most athlete when they reach 30 they are told to retire or being replaced. I don't know how true.

I believe in you, because you have been in a good relationship with Irish gentlemen. I watched her fight against Brasil, I thought she will lose because she was cornered in the ring many times. But she scored more since she was hitting the correct parts of the body.

Great achievement You also won Gold in Men's rowing! I think a smaller country winning a medal makes for even more national pride than those countries who are expected to win.
