On today’s show I sit down with Tilly Kearns, she has just returned from the Tokyo Olympics having competed for Australia in the sport of Water Polo. This was Tilly’s first Olympics and we get an inside look at what it was like to be competing in Tokyo. We discuss everything from TikTok videos going viral, cardboard beds to hotel quarantine and of course, the competition itself. We also chat about Tilly’s journey to the US and what it was like growing up in a high achieving family. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it!
