“I wish I had taken a risk. You have everything to win and nothing to lose.” Elise Cranny (1996-), American Olympian, middle and long-distance runner
I watched the Olympics as I wrote this blog, specifically the Women’s 5000m, where American middle- and long-distance runner Elise Cranny competed in her second Olympics.
As the elite female athletes competed, one of the commentators talked about Cranny’s previous Olympic performance—specifically how she said, “I wish I had taken a risk. You have everything to win and nothing to lose.”
