An 11-time world championship medalist, Brittany Bowe finally won an individual Olympic medal on her ninth try.
“Obviously Miho put down a phenomenal performance, which was not unexpected,” Bowe said. “She has skated out of her mind this entire competition and I knew that was going to be a hard time to beat. But when that gun went off, I was going for gold. I can rest easy tonight knowing that I left everything out there on the ice.”Bowe, who had earlier this week placed 10th in the 1500m and 16th in the 500m, couldn’t hear the spectators cheering as she came around her first turn.
And she has another consolation. “No world records today,” Bowe said with a laugh. “I still have that one.” “And it’s not over for Team USA,” said Bowe, noting there are three events to go. “But so far three medals, I would count that as a huge win for us. I think Erin brought the winning way and really kick-started us for the men to go out there and win their bronze medal in the team pursuit, and for me to win this bronze medal.”
“It’ll be really exciting to get back stateside and I’m sure there will be a very warm welcome back in Ocala,” Bowe said. “For all the Ocala kids to bring home some hardware is really special.”“Since Milwaukee, it’s actually been a very uplifting experience with the story surrounding myself and Erin,” Bowe said. “I don’t think either of us knew the magnitude of those actions, but very quickly we did realize and the amount of support and love that we have received has been really humbling.
