Team U.S.A. wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock, who won the gold medal last week at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will use her Olympic winnings to make her mom’s “dream come true” by buying her a food truck. “She’s always doing back-breaking work and… I’ve just seen her struggling ever since my dad died and I don’t like seeing it,” Mensah-Stock,28, told People on Friday. Mensah-Stock’s father, Prince Mensah, from Ghana, died in a 2009 car accident while returning from one of her high school matches in Louisiana. After her mom remarried, she kept her dad’s last name, Mensah. “He was by far my biggest fan,” she said.
