In this episode of the ALL OUT CLUB Podcast, we’re excited to welcome a very special guest, Mariafe Artacho Del Solar – a three-time Olympian and silver medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
Stepping outside our usual NRL content, we dive into Mariafe's incredible journey to Olympic stardom. We yarn about what it’s like inside the Olympic Village, the picturesque stadium at the Eiffel Tower and how it felt to meet some of the most renowned athletes in the world.
We touched on her career growth from migrating from Peru at 11 years old and using sport as a way to bridge the language gap to joining the AIS in Adelaide.
Del Solar also spoke about the legacy she hopes to leave beyond the sport.
