Micaela Bouter immediately fell to her knees when she officially found out she would be representing her home country of South Africa in the Tokyo Olympics.
After dedicating all her time, energy and effort to the sport of diving since she turned 14, the 25-year old’s Olympic dreams turned into reality.
All Bouter could do after receiving the biggest news of her life was go to the one constant that had powered her through all the obstacles thrown her way, prayer.
“My first reaction was I got on my knees and I honestly just started praying,”said.
