Interview with Ana
Ana was able to show off her gold medal to loved ones in person. Her family couldn’t be with her in Tokyo due to COVID-19 restrictions.”
“8 On Your Side asked Ana how it felt to finally give her mom a hug after winning the gold.
“It feels so good. It finally feels like I just won the Olympic gold. I know before I said it didn’t feel like it because we were away from everyone and it was a closed competition but god seeing everybody…It’s unreal now!” she said.
“My legs are still shaking…It’s special, it’s emotional,” her mother said. […] Ana first discovered her love for the sport while participating in U.S. Best Taekwando’s after school program.
“I’m just so happy and proud for her, a great moment for not only the USA but her family and our martial arts family, it’s awesome,” White, her former coach said.”
