She reflected on competing on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
她回想起在9·11袭击纪念日那天的比赛。
“The 15th anniversary of September 11, every year it’s a meaningful day for me,” she said. “To be here representing the USA, with the USA uniform on, on the world’s biggest athletic stage — when it got really tough out there, I thought of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and didn’t make it back and they pushed me to the finish, wanting to give my thanks to them.”
“这是9·11袭击15周年纪念日，每年的这一天对我来说都意义重大。”她说，“为了能够在这里代表美国，穿着美国队队服在这个世界最大的舞台上比赛——虽然很艰难，但是我想起了那些牺牲的、没能回来的战友，是他们推动着我完成比赛，我想要谢谢他们。”
Paralympic events are divided into categories based on the athletes’ levels of mobility. American Grace Norman won gold in the PT4 women’s triathlon Sunday.
残奥会的比赛项目是根据选手的活动能力划分的。美国选手格蕾丝·诺曼周日获得了PT4分组女子铁人三项比赛的冠军。
