Maggie Mac Neil wins Canada’s first gold medal at Tokyo Olympics in 100m butterfly “It means a lot to me,” Klimkait said in a press conference after the event. “This was my goal since I started judo from a little girl, so I’m really happy.”“The last two or three years, there was a lot of uncertainty if I would even be here at this Olympic Games.
So once I knew that it was official, my eyes were set on the podium. Obviously, I hoped for more, but I’m happy that I collected myself to reach the podium anyways.”Klimkait added that she would like to share this medal with all the friends, family, coaches and training partners who have supported her over the years.
