Who would have thought her best performance would come at 35. It’s like with age, Shelly has become a more fierce athlete. What she has accomplished is not an ordinary feat. Perhaps it’s somewhat impossible for any other athlete to even imagine the career she has carved for herself. However, Shelly will forever be an inspiration for the generations to follow.
