Tearful Olympic champion tells of binned 'dream' note her dad kept and gave to her before he died
Wednesday, 31 July 2024 As a teenager in 2012, Lola Anderson was inspired by the London games - so much so that she wrote in her diary it was her "biggest dream in life" to row in the Olympics and possibly win gold.
From Cameroon to the UK and the global Olympic stage, this inspiring journey of resilience, courage, and triumph is a story for the ages. The first-ever medalist representing the "Olympic Refugee Team" shares her path to winning a bronze in boxing at the Paris Olympics. After seeking asylum in the UK due to persecution in her homeland, she overcame countless challenges to make history and advocate for diversity and inclusion.
