I personally find her responses to media pandering and public harassment to be honest, thoughtful, and refreshing. It's also a pity that her Olympic fencing career just ended, but I expect she will continue to fence at the amateur level for many years to come. It's a lifetime thing for many people. (I was too badly injured to continue, alas. I'd love to do it again, but it is not to be.)
