My first time in Sydney 🇦🇺✨

Fully back after breaking my ankle in April!

My flight home got cancelled twice, but that meant I got two extra days to explore Sydney
I think I’ve experienced enough Sydney to last me a lifetime… I might be good without Sydney for a while 😂

I had such a great time! Thank you, everyone!

Let’s take you through the making of the ‘World Record’ post from the 2025 Virtus World Swimming Championships, Thailand that showed some record breaking insights 🙌
.
Acknowledging the achievements of the athletes with an intellectual impairment at Virtus events is one of my favourite things to do and I am so happy to see these amazing athletes getting the love they deserve 🥰

Thanks to my colleague who secretly recorded all my BTS work and forced me to turn it into a reel😂
