All the amazing stories we’ve witnessed at the Tokyo Olympic Games just show that with hard work, grit and perseverance we can all achieve our dreams!
Did you know that 75% of Olympic boat skipper medallists in Tokyo were under-16 Internationals in the Optimist Class? How about that?
We had to wait a long time for Tokyo, but the good news is that we only have to wait three years before Paris 2024! Then it’s Los Angeles in 2028. Always reach for the stars!
