Rutter will spend five days in Paris in her bid for gold before returning home to her son Tommy.
Amber Rutter is buoyed by excitement and a fresh sense of perspective as she prepares to head to the Paris Olympics just three months after becoming a mum.
“My perspective has completely changed on it all. My son Tommy has just started smiling and no matter what sort of day I’ve had, seeing his smile makes all the problems go away. Three world medals in 2022, followed by the European gold that confirmed her quota place for Paris at an early stage, signalled she was on the right track and afforded her more time away from the range in the knowledge that her Olympic place had been effectively assured.
Her son will remain in England with his grandparents as Rutter embarks on a swift five-day visit to the French capital, a sign that she remains focused on winning the one major medal in her sport that eludes her.“It’s important for me that the competition is as similar as possible for me, and much as I would love Tommy to be there with me, I need to be able to focus on myself and my performance,” added Rutter.
