In January 2018, just a year-and-a-half after finishing fifth at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, US Olympian Raven Saunders contemplated taking her own life. Thankfully, Saunders reached out to her therapist, who talked her out of suicide. Soon afterwards, Saunders checked into a mental health facility, where she started the journey of getting her life back in order. But now, Saunders has a brand new title – Olympic silver medalist. Saunders tossed 64 feet, 11¼ inches to finish second in the women's shot put on Sunday. Saunders was dancing and visibly overjoyed after the competition. "For me, everything that I been through, mental health-wise, injuries and financial. Really to invest everything that I have mentally and physically, being able to walk away with a medal and go out and inspire so many people."
