South African gymnast Caitlin Rooskrantz has blazed the trail for aspiring athletes, who for many years did not have role models who looked like them.
Her rise on the global stage becoming one of the first gymnasts of colour to represent South Africa at the Olympic Games, alongside Naveen Davies, was an immense point of pride for her.
First taste in TokyoOlympics 2020, was the first Olympic Games Rooskrantz attended and she shares her experience participating at The Games in Tokyo .
When I found out I was attending the Olympics in Tokyo, little Caitlin [Rooskrantz] was definitely over-joyed. It was one of those moments for me that everything finally came together and worked out, she told SportsBoom.com .
Getting to the Olympic Games was definitely a dream of mine and I did not know if it was possible or not. But having faith, believing and working hard and ultimately getting to the games was definitely a dream come true. And walking away from Tokyo as an Olympian was really something special.
