In this episode of After the Flame, we had the pleasure to speaking to Olympian Long Jumper, Abigail Irozuru.

We discussed what it takes to make it to the Olympics and what life is like as a retired athlete. Irozuru also talked about the impact sport has had on her personal life since being a child but also touched upon the growing drop-off rates of girls and how she encourages them to try and stay in sport.

Abigail also talked to us about the important role her Faith has played in her career, especially during tough times and injuries, as well as gave us an insight into what the future may hold!

Is there anything she can’t do? The perfect first guest, an episode not to be missed!
