This ⬇️ It’s hard to put into perspective how incredible Olympic athletes are. Too many people assume not winning a medal is a failure. Every athlete has a personal goal/story and is one of the best in the world in their event/sport. Imagine being that good!!

In the Olympics, before each event I think there should just be a normal person having a go to show you the scale of how phenomenal the Olympians are

4/5 I will always look back and be proud of the career I have had. I can’t even imagine telling the 13 year old ‘me’ what journey she was about to embark on! Sport really is so much more than the medals and PB’s. It’s the people and places it’s taken me that I’ll never forget.
