Amit Elor added a reel to her Instagram page, showcasing several clips of her injured state. The videos also had clips of her training despite being injured. Captioning the post, Elor wrote, “I used to feel invincible when I was younger, that I would never seriously be injured. I was wrong and learned so many important lessons.”
She also added, “Now, I value recovery just as much as training. I adapted the saying “train smarter, not harder.” Please take care of your body so that you can continue doing what you love.” As Amit Elor mentioned, rest and recovery are equally sacrosanct to nourish oneself, especially when one is a sports person.

A fitting reply to everyone who discouraged her
Replying to all people who asked her to quit, Elor wrote, “No, I’ll be smarter. I won’t give up until I achieve my Olympic Dream.” Although the video clips featured in the reel of Amit Elor showed her in an incapacitated state, she had a smile riven in each one of them. Although Elor does possess a natural predilection for wrestling, talent isn’t a guarantor of success.
