Australian Waterpolo player Holly Young (nee Lincoln-Smith) made her first international appearance in 2009 at the FINA World League Super Finals.



She went on to represent her country at two Olympics, bringing home a bronze medal from London 2012.



Holly has had an incredible career, but it was her achievements and battles outside of the pool that have shaped who she is today. She gave birth to two beautiful kids, before receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.



After years away from the sport, after recovering from cancer, Holly made the courageous decision to get back in the pool, and put her body on the line once again.
