CONGRATULATIONS NICOLA
Our Alumni, Australia's Nicola Olyslagers (n茅e McDermott) clinched her first outdoor World Athletics Championships gold in the women's high jump at Tokyo's National Stadium.
Despite challenging conditions, including two rain delays, Nicola cleared 2.00 metres on her first attempt and very narrowly missing 2.02m, marking her sixth global medal and Australia's first gold of the championships.
Reflecting on her victory, Nicola shared, "I knew if Jesus was enough for me when I was last, He's enough when I'm first, and every time I was jumping, it was worship." This statement underscores her deep Christian faith, which she credits for providing strength and focus throughout her life and athletic journey.
Nicola's win in Tokyo is a testament to her resilience and unwavering faith, solidifying her status as a leading figure in Australian athletics.
