Not with those losses she had last year.
Article was pretty much total fluff, but it does highlight the absolutely toxic impact social media can have on an athlete who, in essence, is still only a child. Frankly, I am amazed that any high profile young athlete wants to complete in today's environment.

Hyperbole and hyperbole. Why not just say she is a big ol' slowpoke so how can she be the brightest star?

W. Shakespeare wrote:
Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapors that did seem to strangle him.
