Bigger Questions: Episode 3 – That Special Moment - What's The Power of Being First?

It's what they've worked towards.

But it's more than that. It's a moment not just for them, but for everyone.

That moment of realisation. The dream achieved. A generation inspired. A moment that will go down in history, not just for the result but for what it means.

Episode three, in our five-part series, takes our athletes back to the moment where they became "the first" and asks them to talk us through that moment – their feelings, their memories, the barriers they overcame. Did they realise at the time how big that moment was? We recount the nerves, pride, and excitement that set the scene for their big moment.

In this series, we explore the story of four incredible Olympians and Paralympians – Nicola Adams, Sarah Attar, Natalie Du Toit and Rose Lokonyen as we explore - what's the power of being first?
