However, she expressed gratitude for the support she received from fans and the opportunity to inspire younger athletes with her resilience and longevity in the sport.

Jones' determination and courage to compete at the trials, despite obstacles, have resonated with fans worldwide, highlighting the enduring spirit of Olympic athletes.
