It won’t be easy, but Steiner looks to win her first major medal. It might be a coincidence (or not) that when Bolt signed his contract, he achieved greatness and won eight Olympic gold medals. To see this in that light, Abby is on the right path to success. Hopefully, she can get an Olympic medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
