Kiszla: After finishing second at Olympics, Adeline Gray wrestles with raw, conflicting emotions. She’s profoundly proud. And intensely ticked off.

“A silver medal is not what I came for. But it’s what I have,” Gray said. “I’m very proud to bring home a medal from the Olympics for Team USA. I wanted it to be a different color.”
