The 25-year-old hurdler, who will compete in her first-ever Olympic appearance in the lovely French capital, was just ecstatic to join the rest of the Philippine contingent in the world’s grandest sporting stage.
Fil-American hurdler Lauren Hoffman is feeling beyond blessed and honored to finally represent the Philippines in the 2024 Paris Games.
“I qualified for the Olympics. Still feels so crazy to say that. It is such an honor to join my kababayan and represent the Philippines at the upcoming Olympic Games,” Hoffman wrote on her Facebook post. The former Duke standout didn’t forget to thank God for blessing her with the ability to compete.
“He sparked a fire in my heart to relentlessly chase after my dreams. He gave me an amazing support system of family, friends, teammates, and coaches. He gave me countless opportunities and resources. This could not have been done alone,” she continued. “Thank you to my mom, an incredible role model and the most selfless person I know. I am so grateful for all her work behind the scenes. Thank you to my family for so much love and support since I began running. Shoutout Dad for running my first race with me. Thank you to Sean for always believing in me.”
