“I am in love with why I’m going over there.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – We’ve mentioned it throughout the week.  Samantha Kinchen, a local boxer from Lexington, will represent the United States in Rio this August.

The catch?  Kinchen won’t be there as a competitor.  She’s set to be a chaplain with Athletes in Action.

Is it tough knowing she’ll have to sit and watch, instead of be in the ring?

Hear Kinchen’s take in the video.
