Even at the age of 45, Venus Williams continues his tennis career and eyes at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. While many are surprised that an athlete of her age can still compete with such energy and determination, Venus himself refuses to consider age as a restriction. If she played at the age of 48, she would probably make a record. When she talked to Parade, she said, “I’m just praying for good health, so I could have the opportunity to play with good health.”
If he achieves this performance, Venus would break the long -term record of a fellow tennis legend Martin Navratilova. Looking at the journey acknowledged: “I have to maintain the necessary motivation to stay in court for so long, but we’ll see. Nothing is impossible.” Her career was defined not only by triumphs in court, but also with resistance to health problems, including uterine fibroids, operations and long recovery. When he returns to a competitive tennis only a year after the operation, the generation of athletes continued to inspire.
In a sincere conversation with today’s interview Venus revealed the struggles she faced: “It was just too bad and I couldn’t handle it. (I started) taking something much stronger, which was a prescription, which is not ideal because it is difficult to train or be in your right mind. No one should go through it.” Nevertheless, she bounced back and returned to Washington, DC and also competed in Cincinnati and the USA Open. While her results were mixed, she was absolutely determined to compete at such a high level after years of calls talk about her drive.
Olympic dream
Venus has an important Olympic record because he has won four gold medals and one silver across the five Olympic performances from Sydney 2000 to Rio 2016. She became the oldest WTA match at WTA in 2004.
The question is whether he can maintain his health and motivation in the next three years. Yet at a time when athletes like Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams redefine the boundaries of age in tennis, Venus is far from finished. The journey to La 2028 will undoubtedly be challenging, but if it continues to defy the chances of how it has during his career, the Olympic appearance – and perhaps even more medals – could be within reach.
