Meet the Pacific Women Olympians Pushing Boundaries

Sistas, Let's Talk

Getting to the Olympics is no easy feat. Especially when you're from Pacific Island nations that don't always have the professional sporting facilities and funding to support you in your training.  

We meet three women who dedicated their time and efforts to achieve excellence in sport and at the same time, have pushed the boundaries and narratives of the role of women in their countries. Hear from Yuri Hosei, a swimmer from Palau, Ellie Enock a parathlete shot-putter from Vanuatu and Leonie Beu a sprinter from Papua New Guinea.
