Bigger Questions: Episode 5 – The Legacy - What's The Power of Being First?

Author: Deloitte UK July 16, 2024 Duration: 25:00

Success and glory.

Blood. Sweat. And tears.

A legacy left behind.

It's built on the truth that winning is a win for one. But the reality is that firsts are a win for everyone.

Our athletes have each left their own legacy, but what is the true power of doing something of such magnitude for the first time?

In the final episode of the series, we reflect on what life is like after "the first". What does it mean for the world and what legacy does it leave behind? What's the inspiration for others who follow in their footsteps? How do we ensure that what we leave behind is better than how we found it? 
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?
