"I'm in a sport where people don't look at us like women, they don't look at us like being girls, or feminine," Carter said. "I love hair, I love make up, I love fashion and I love throwing the shot put." "One of my sayings is: look good, feel good, do good," she said. "If you are feeling good, you look good, you are confident about yourself, you are going to go out there and you will rock it." On top of beating Adams, Carter also trumped her coach and father, Michael, who won a shot put silver in the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
