Olympics trip in August 'made a dream come true and showed me that I can do this,' Jasneet Nijjar says
Jasneet Nijjar was thrilled to be in Paris at the 2024 Summer Games but didn't get to run, only fuelling her desire to race in Los Angeles four years from now.
In a phone call, Nijjar spoke to the Now-Leader from Pullman, WA, where she's studying kinesiology at Washington State University. Post-Paris, she returned home to Surrey for some family time before hitting the books again south of the border. "Everything was so athlete-oriented, how everything was set up," Nijjar added,"and Team Canada did an amazing job with the lounges, the support staff they had on site. Trying to go watch other sports at the venues can be a lot, a lot of walking and all that, so we had TVs in the lounge area where all the athletes could sit down and watch other athletes from Canada, which was an amazing thing.
