Gymnast Laurie Hernandez last competed at the Rio Olympics. She must wait a bit longer to return with the Tokyo Games postponed to 2021.
“I can adapt to it pretty quick,” Hernandez told Mike Tirico on “Lunch Talk Live” on NBCSN on Monday. “I think that year really threw a lot of athletes off, even though we can all agree it’s the safest for the world. Even still then, my goal is still to make the Olympic team. It’s still a big dream of mine.”
Hernandez, now 19, took two full years off after earning gold and silver medals in Rio.
