Some inspiration … "Sport isn't just a game. It is a bridge. As the example … In the midst of conflict, young athletes in @peaceplayers programs keep playing, proving that unity can thrive where politics divide. 25 years on, the mission remains #LaureusSA

Huge thanks to Sean Fitzpatrick for his leadership in driving our strategy and mobilising ambassadors, Academy members and athletes. Their advocacy, visits and support help create real impact, not just through fundraising but by pushing for policy change.

People frequently ask me about the 10km event I participated in at the Olympic Games. Completing a 10km swim can take around 2 hours, depending on the weather and water conditions, though it can vary.
