Lafond addressed WUSA9 by means of Zoom from her room in Tokyo, as she plans to contend in the triple leap in the Olympics. She has been decided to hold her nation's banner - from the island of Dominica - during the Opening Ceremony, Friday. 

"Who would've realized that joining the olympic style sports group at John F. Kennedy secondary school my first year, on the grounds that my companions were doing it, would transform into this," said Thea Lafond. 

Lafond was brought into the world on the little island of Dominica, she moved to Maryland when she was 5 years of age, and calls Montgomery County home. At the point when she's not preparing for the Olympics, this 27-year-old is showing custom curriculum at John F. Kennedy secondary school, a similar secondary school she moved on from. 

"This previous school year, I just educated for the principal semester. I inquired as to whether I could have consent to do an all-inclusive leave to zero in on the Olympics and fortunately, they permitted me to, so a colossal gratitude to them," said Lafond. 

Lafond said she needs to make her loved ones pleased. She's not feeling a great deal of pressing factor right now and is only appreciative for the chance. This will be her second Olympic Games. She contended in 2016, yet harmed her hamstring before contending and battled all through the opposition in Rio. 

"The present moment, I'm only sort of eager to have the world together in some kind of way after the insane few months we've had," said Lafond. 

The COVID-19 pandemic is as yet a gigantic worry in Tokyo, and Lafond concedes she had a few doubts about contending in these Olympic Games. 

"I was very uneasy about it. Coronavirus really removed two of my friends and family from me in a range of about fourteen days. In any case, I realized that the staff here facilitating the Tokyo Olympic games were making every effort to ensure it was protected," said Lafond. 

"It's anything but's an honor to have the option to address this little jewel in the Caribbean, Dominica, and show the world and address for the world what we can do. This will be a memory that should not be taken lightly and I can hardly wait to make it," said Lafond. 

Lafond will initially contend in the Tokyo Olympic Games on July 30th.
