Rio de Janeiro: Belgian Paralympian Marieke Vervoort said on Sunday that she's still considering euthanasia to escape a life of unbearable physical pain - only not quite yet.
Vervoort, who won silver in the 400m wheelchair race, played down reports ahead of the Paralympics that she had planned to be euthanized, which is legal in Belgium, right after the Games.
"I have my (euthanasia) papers in my hand, but I'm still enjoying every little moment. When the moment comes when I have more bad days than good days, then I have my euthanasia papers, but the time is not there yet," she told a press conference.
