"I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there," she said, pumping her fist and smiling as she pulled the flag tighter around her athletic body.
That probably wasn't the answer the reporter expected from a Black woman. Instead of putting the country down as a racist, unfair nation, Mensah-Stock showed gratitude.
She began wrestling in the tenth grade in Katy, Texas.
"When I first started wrestling, I wanted to be an emblem, a light to younger women and show them that you can be silly, you can have fun and you can be strong," Mensah-Stock told USA Today. "You can be tough, you can be a wrestler and you don’t have to be like this," – growl – "I’m gonna be mean to you."
Before winning gold, Mensah-Stock was an unknown athlete to the mainstream fans. But without a doubt, that has changed and she is without a doubt, the most likable athlete at the Games. Her love of the USA is a breath of patriotic air that rids us of the stink we get from the left from the politics that has no business being there.
When she was asked what she plans to do with the money that comes from winning the gold, Mensah-Stock was very clear: "I wanted to give my mom $30,000 so she can get a food truck, ‘cause it’s her dream," she said. "And I told her five years ago, ‘Alright mommy, I’ll get you your food truck, but you gotta be responsible.
"So my mom’s gettin’ her food truck! She’s gonna have her little cooking business. She can cook really, really, really well. Barbecue!"
This is without a doubt the best story to come out of the Games thus far.

I love this young woman and wish her all the best for her future. With an attitude like hers, she will go far.
