Belgian Paralympian ‘Not Ready’ for EuthanasiaSeptember 12, 2016 |
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.
She said she was “still enjoying every little moment”.
