April Ross

Alix klineman, who is taking part for the very first time at the Tokyo Olympics, will try to earn her third Olympic medal. Ross's dream is to earn her first Olympic Gold. As she turns 39, it could be her final opportunity to claim the Olympic gold. But she's convinced that winning the gold medal is in reach.
