"You've come a long way since I met you when you first turned pro in 2020. Being together, working together, and witnessing your journey to both the Olympics and World Championships, watching you win Silver three times, and making the team every single time has been nothing short of inspiring to everyone, and especially to me, being a professional athlete myself. These achievements are more than just medals - it's a testament to your unwavering dedication, perseverance, pushing past limits, never giving up when the odds seemed insurmountable, and the countless sacrifices you've made along the way."

She also added:

"Here's to celebrating these amazing achievements and to all the future victories that I know are just around the corner. My heart is full, and I couldn't be prouder of the person you've become on and off the track. We are just getting started. Your best is yet to come."
