The wheelchair racer, who won a silver medal on Saturday in the 400m, said she signed euthanasia papers in 2008. The Belgian press had reported she might take her life after Rio, but she rejected the speculation at a news conference following her victory. "When the moment comes when I have more bad days than good days, then I have my euthanasia papers, but the time is not there yet," she told journalists in Rio. In spite of it, she achieved a distinguished career in wheelchair racing, winning 100m gold and 200m silver in the 2012 London Olympics, and now a silver medal in Rio. Because I love the sport, sport is my life."
