“It was my first [jump] in the prelims. I fouled most of my other ones,” said Otero. “I definitely wanted to come out here and do my best, and I’m glad I did. I think that was actually the first time I ever got an actual first place medal, so it felt good. I was a little nervous, but it felt good.”
