Mother of Olympic gold medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock receives $250,000 food truck after Tokyo Games

Tamyra Mensah-Stock is not the type of person to slow down after reaching the top.

Hardly a week removed from dominating her way to gold in the women's 68kg freestyle wrestling, Mensah-Stock is already repaying those who helped her reach her dream – with some help.

According to local Houston, Texas, television station ABC 13, Mensah-Stock planned to use part of her Olympic winnings ($250,000) to buy a food truck for her mother, Shonda Wells. Mensah-Stock promised Wells a truck of her own five years ago while her mother sold BBQ out of a pit with two wheels.
