Derval O'Rourke: Remembering my time at the Olympics

And a recipe for my quinoa and avocado powerbowl 
Derval O'Rourke: Remembering my time at the Olympics

Derval O'Rourke's Olympic singlet.

The Olympics is always a nostalgic time for me. The Olympics is many things — for me it’s holding onto a dream and a hope for something amazing. Chasing that dream and becoming an Olympian in an Irish vest is something I dreamed of as a child. This week, inspired by the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I have a power bowl recipe that will fuel anybody’s exercise performance.

Visibility matters: It’s really easy to turn your TV on and see sports being played. But what isn’t easy is to see women’s sports. Yes, it’s getting slightly better but we’ve a long way to go. The Olympics is a glorious two weeks of both male and female sportspeople being given the same airtime.
