Miles Chamley-Watson

That was the first time I became a man.

And it's the first time I ever saw my mom cry.

Sorry, mom.

But I just was like, okay, this is happening.

How do we find some type of silver lining in this moment?

And, you know, starting the hospital, writing things down, journaling, all those past situations prepared me for this.

I was able to just be an umbrella for the family.

And I think that was the moment where I was like, okay, wow.

I got this, you know, she's got two beautiful kids, you know, obviously this is, you know, domestic violence, which is, which is one thing, which is awful.

And I think this is my sister who as a brother, she understands what I want to do is, you know, is take care of my sister.

And, you know, there's certain things that, you know, she won't tell you all these things because she knows what her brother would want to do.

And I was like, okay, Miles, we're going to figure this out.

And I was able to make the Olympic team, which probably the first time anybody's going to know while dealing with this.

I would fly from Japan to Miami, spend some time in the hospital, help out with the kids, changing nappies for the first time, you know, just being there for my family.

And my mom and dad did the most incredible job I've ever seen of just becoming parents again.

And I think that's where whoever you believe in is testing you because he knows you can handle it.

And I realized that I can handle anything.

And it was kind of compartmentalizing.

This is, you know, going from the hospital ICU to a competition and somehow doing well.

is the biggest accomplishment I could... I don't even know how I did it, to be honest with you.
