Her father is looking down feeling very proud of his baby girl.

Bitter sweet victory for Olga with losing her father as such an important time in her life. But he is looking down on her feeling very proud of his daughter's achievements! She was incredibly brave to have held it together on that stage.

she might not know that his dad was there at the stadium watching over her and her friends.. what a rollercoaster of emotions, lifted up so high just to be thrown into emptiness.. wonderful Olga, surely she made her dad proud forever...

Does they always use analogy or metaphor in speaking? Quite shocked though.
