Alison Gibson Speaks Out on her Viral Dive!

Alison Gibson is becoming an inspiration to the losers out there!

The diver is definitely not a loser because she did qualify for the Olympics and was sent to Paris amongst all the other athletes out there who are elite in her sport, which is a feat in and of itself.

She is however, one of the first divers to score a 0 on a dive.

She turned to her instagram to address the failed dive and not let it define her or her career.

She wrote an inspiring caption:

Our worth is not defined by one painful moment. I am who I am because of the journey it took to get here. And I will not let the shame and pain of this moment define me and my worth.

My faith has been challenged a lot through this and I don’t understand why God would let this happen to me as I have walked so faithfully with him over the past year, but I know his plans are greater than mine and it is not my duty to understand them.

My heart and my body hurt, but I know that this competition does not and will not define me. If you have a moment when you feel like all is lost, don’t give up hope. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.

She also posted the video.

Keep on fighting the good fight, a fail isn't what defines you, it's how you overcome it that does!
