As a community, it was exciting to know four Murdoch students – Jeremy Hayward, Amie Thompson, Elizaveta Parnova, and Monique de Vries – were competing at this year’s Olympic Games.
You may have caught a glimpse of Amie who competed in artistic swimming – a sport that combines both artistry and athleticism. Artistic swimming can be compared to underwater team gymnastics, with athletes required to perform both precise and challenging moves submerged.
“Personally, I was in the zone wanting to push my limits and achieve my best, so I didn’t notice the lack of crowds. It was just an honour and privilege to be able to compete on the international stage, for both the team and duet competitions.” - Aime Thompson.
For Kookaburras player Jeremy, the end of Toyko 2020 has meant he’s jumped straight into a new challenge – a room full of primary school students.
"It was a high-intensity game which came down to the wire, with a lot of raw emotion at the end of the match. We are all very proud of what we’ve achieved and stoked to walk away with a silver medal." - Jeremy Hayward.
