i mean can you even imagine trading in your running shoes for bobsleigh skates?! 
she's like a total boss, always living life on her own terms and crushing every obstacle that comes her way 
i need to get inspired by someone like this ASAP 
what's next, gonna trade in her ice skates for surfing?! 
anyway gotta go ahead and give Montell Douglas a HUGE round of applause 
she's the definition of fearless & resilient 
She's literally taking on a NEW WORLD of challenges in bobsleigh and I love how she's owning it!!! 
. That kind of attitude is gonna take you places, girl! 
she's literally a hero for trying something so crazy and making it happen 
she's got that fire 
the way she's handled all the pressure and obstacles is just insane 
i'm literally living vicariously through her right now 
can't wait to see what she does next!!!
this feels like a recipe for disaster or at least some pretty epic fails on the ice 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to be known as 'Fire' for their unrelenting passion and drive? And can you even imagine leaving behind a career that's already achieved so much success? It takes a special kind of courage (and let's be real, crazy-talented-ness) to make the jump from sprinting to bobsleigh. I'm so here for her fearless attitude and willingness to take risks - it's like she's saying, 'Hey world, watch me do this thing!' 
! I mean, I love how she took control of her own life and just did it – no holding back or regrets. It's like, what if she never takes that leap? Would we see the same level of determination & success in bobsleigh?! 
The way she just says "why not?" and goes for it is so inspiring, you know? 
. And what's with all this 'fearlessness' business? Isn't that just being reckless? 
I guess it's cool that she's pushing boundaries and stuff, but doesn't that mean she's also gonna get hurt a lot? 
And don't even get me started on the training sessions - grueling? Hasn't she got better things to do with her time? 
At the same time, I gotta admit, she does seem like super focused and driven (or whatever) and I'm rooting for her in a weird way... maybe? 
What are the chances she just casually picked up a new sport and became a pro overnight? 
And what about all those years of training and competition in one sport that didn't prepare her for another? I'm no expert, but it seems like this transition is more of a publicity stunt than an actual career change. 
. It takes a lot of guts to acknowledge what you're good at and then deliberately challenge yourself, especially when it comes to physically demanding sports like track events vs ice tracks
