Not long ago, no one desired a gold medal more than Michaela Walsh.
At the Tokyo Olympics and the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games, Michaela Walsh felt both pride and heartbreak, giving her all but falling just short of gold.
After two Commonwealth Games silver medals, she finally won gold in Birmingham in 2022.
Though the victory "meant a lot," Walsh, 31, says it wasn't just about the medal. "When I was younger, it was all about winning gold, but not anymore," she explained.
"People said I needed the gold after two silvers, but I didn't see it that way. I enjoyed the journey and the experience, and I believe that's why I won."
