never heard of her either, but sounds like a legend. classic nz media ignoring actual sportspeople for rugby stories

facts. rugby gets all the cash while swimmers get a participation medal and a pat on the back

i grew up swimming and her name never came up in training. crazy how some athletes just disappear after the games

probably working a normal job like the rest of us. top 4 at olympics and still gotta pay rent. ffs

get real, she probably coaches at some rural club now. nothing wrong with that

wait she got 4th in 800m freestyle? that's massive. imagine if we actually funded swimming here
