Shirin Gerami has made an impact. Joining the triathlon society whilst studying at Durham, she went on to be the first woman to represent Iran in the sport of triathlon at a World Championships in London in 2013. Shirin is an example of someone who is able to push past the word "impossible" and discover what is actually possible through persistence, passion and grit.

Listen as we discuss her time at University and her entry into the sport that would become her career. We talk about the moment she received approval to represent Iran (the night before the race itself!) and her approach to racing now, with a real focus on making an impact. 

Shirin is a pioneer for women in sport. Listen and learn that "there is no such thing as impossible".

Note: Due to a few issues in recording this episode there is some lag and overlap towards the end of the conversation with Shirin. It's a common problem when recording online but luckily it takes nothing away from the amazing conversation we had.
