This will bring a smile:
Tamyra Mensah-Stock is an olympic wrestler, and now has a gold medal to her name — and she was ecstatic to drape herself in the American flag.
On Tuesday, Mensah-Stock beat Blessing Oborududu of Nigeria 4-1 in the women’s 68-kilogram freestyle wrestling final, making her just the second American woman to win gold in the event. Mensah-Stock is also the first black woman from the U.S. to win a wrestling gold medal at the Olympics.
When asked by the reporter how it felt to represent her country, Mensah-Stock responded in a way that will warm every American’s heart.
“It feels amazing,” said Mensah-Stock. “I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there. I love it. And I’m so happy I get to represent U.S.A!”
What a sweet patriot.
