- Track was the one that resonated with me the most. Growing up watching the Olympics and the girls wearing the cute uniforms, the nails, their hair being done, that really resonated with me and I was like, oh my goodness. Like this is so cute. They're so fast. Like they're feminine, but they're also athletes. - What's up y'all? Sha girl? Ari Chambers here with Team USA and I have Brittany Mason sitting next to me who's a three time paralympic medalist and a world record holder. Can you talk to me about why you chose Track and field over all the other sports that you did? - Growing up watching the Olympics and the girls wearing the cute uniforms, the nails, their hair being done, that really resonated with me and I was like, oh my goodness. Like they're so fast. Like they're feminine, but they're also athletes. And so that's a big reason why I kind of got into the sport and really stuck with it. - I think you might be the most stylish on the team. - Oh, zoom in on that one. Zoom in on that one. That was good. That was - Good. I think that you might be the most stylish on the - Team. I'm the most fashionable. Ask anyone else on the team, ask anyone else. - So out of all the great women who have stepped foot on that track, who is the one that stuck with you growing up that you were like, I wanna be - Like her? Yes, that's easy. Shelly Ann Frazier price. She was just so blinged out. Every time I would watch her run, her hair was always cool. Different colors. Her nails were always done. She was just short and powerful and you don't see a lot of, you know, real true short, short sprinters anymore. And so I was like, oh my goodness, I could be just like her when I get - Older. Brittany, we know one of your mottos is look good, run Good. So can you walk us through the glitter on your face, your jewelry choice today? - You got some blue on my nails, some rhinestones, and I had USA, I don't know if it's still on there. It is. And then have to wear the little jewelry pieces, the be for my initials and obviously our cute uniform. - So - How do you balance that power with the hyper femininity that you explained? - I had to kind of get over the fact of like having like that like muscular body build of being an athlete and also being feminine. So just kind of appreciating my build and that this is something that is gonna get me far in life. - One thing I love about Olympians and Paralympians, you all represent something greater than yourselves. My mom was actually born with one hand, and if she had the representation that you all have now, I think that her life would've been very different. So what message do you have to anyone out there who wants to enter a sport? When they perceive themselves to be at a disadvantage? - The sky's the limit. And don't let anyone tell you that you can't do what you wanna do and you can reach your goals. I actually had no idea that I was even eligible for para until I was 21 years old and I've been running track for 16 years, had no idea that I would have the success that I have today. I want more success and I've already had a very successful journey, but I That's not stopping me. - We are not stopping cheering you on. Brittany, thank you so much for coming through. Thank you.
