A tackle while playing rugby union led to a severe kneedislocation, where she underwent 16 operations in just 9 months in order to save her leg.But this moment was the opening of a new chapter in Nikki'slife and career.

    At just 13 years of age, Michelle Ford made her Olympic debut at the Montreal Games. But it was four years later at the 1980 Moscow Games where her story truly began.Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, and Russia's invasion of Afghanistan, the Australian Government publicly pressured the Australian Olympic Federation to boycott the Moscow Games.Despite the pressure, Australia decided to send a team, which Michelle was proudly a part of. But, instead of being celebrated, athletes like Michelle were vilified, threatened and labelled as traitors.To make matters worse, the East German athletes competing at the games were taking part in state-sanction doping. But despite it all, Michelle became the only non-Soviet bloc swimmer to win a gold medal at the games and prevent a clean sweep by the East German swimmers.We hope you enjoy Michelle's story and if you want to learn more, you can purchase her book, turning the tide here: https://www.fairplaypublishing.com.au/products/turning-the-tide?srsltid=AfmBOopKky3kMdYkO1UPzQTUdYKd5wbS3t8oHPXEvkI4dl7VZiJZ2dSZGet the wrap delivered into your inbox as a weekly newsletter!
