Annalise Murphy up for her greatest challenge

As she takes on the greatest adventure of her stellar sailing career Annalise Murphy (27) will, at least, have no worries about her Olympic silver medal as Liberty Insurance has stepped in to cover it against damage or loss after its recent makeover.

Hers was one of many Rio 2016 medals recalled by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) when it emerged after the Games that they were tarnishing and had not been properly finished.

“I just thought it was wear-and-tear because I was going around thousands of schools and events with people rubbing and biting it,” Murphy revealed.
