Who Inspires You?

The person who inspires me the most right now is an amazing woman named Amit Elore. She is a 2024 Olympic gold medalist in women's wrestling, along with many more national and international gold medals in wrestling. The reason she inspires me is not just that she is an amazing wrestler who has done amazing things, but that she embraces being a woman in a male dominated sport. In the past I have felt like I had to suppress the feminine part of me when participating in my sport, but after following Amit’s life as she trains through being pregnant with her first child, I have come to realize that she is completely embracing being a woman, she isn’t trying to become more manly to achieve her goals, she becomes who she is: a strong woman who can do anything she puts her mind to, including training for the 2028 Olympics while pregnant.
