After earning her bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, Brown said: "This journey has been crazy with lots of downs but lots of ups.
Since Tokyo, I have learned a lot. I was one spot away from qualifying for the surfing. It made me stronger.
I am super stoked. I wasn’t even sure I was going to make it here." Battling through knee and shoulder injuries in the Olympic final, she added: "I feel like this made my story.
I felt the adrenaline and was just hyped up. I didn't even think about it.".
