Perris Benegas, Women's BMX Freestyle silver medallist:
(About her name being 'Perris' and if she believes in fate, and about the injuries she has had to deal with)
"It's actually the first time I've heard 'Perris in Paris'. No, I'm just kidding. Since Tokyo, it's been a long road. I had shoulder surgery immediately after. And then this last year, I actually had knee surgery, ACL, lateral medial meniscus. And that has just been quite the grind. From day one, I knew that the Olympics was something I wanted to be a part of. So I just did everything I could and put my head down and got to work. And I'm just very happy to be here and even more grateful to walk away with the medal."
