Supporting two countries at the Olympics: 'I cry rivers when an athlete from a smaller nation takes the podium'

from Irish Independent 5 months ago

I feed on every story of human strength, determination and aspiration... I feel each disappointment deeply, and I admire everyone who made it there... there's something about the Olympics that embodies the strength of the human spirit, and I just can't resist it.

You remember where you were for Tokyo, for Rio, for London. And how your life has changed since then... I dreamt of becoming Ukraine's greatest gold medallist... This year, I now have two nations to support, Ukraine and Ireland.
