A sportsperson competing in the modern Olympic Games.

I will forever carry the pride and privilege of representing this amazing country on the grandest global stage. There is so much that comes with that, with being an Olympian. But now, because of Covid-19, some athletes will never get that honour. […] There will be people who were getting the timing right for 2020 who won't be in 2021. From in one year does not guarantee form in the next. That is absolutely heart-breaking. There will be athletes in the community that should have become Olympians. Because of Covid-19, they will never get that opportunity.
