“I want them to see Natoya Goule in a different way…not just the runner, but the woman, the warrior, the believer.” Jamaican middle-distance star, Natoya Goule has long been known for her speed and tenacity on the track. A three-time Olympian and ADIDAS ambassador, she's one of the fastest women in the world over 800 meters. But as Natoya reveals in this intimate conversation, her real power lies not just in her stride—but in her spirit. From growing up in Manchester Jamaica, competing in school sports days with her older brother to representing her country on the biggest stages in sport, Natoya's journey has been anything but what she expected. "I didn't even know about the Olympics," and then Veronica Campbell came on the scene, and changed everything. She opens up about hidden injuries, a terrifying car accident, and the relentless pressure of proving herself year after year. “People don't see the behind-the-scenes,” she says. “They see the race, not the fight it took to get there.” Faith is her foundation. “God gave me my talent and He gets me through everything. When I wanted to give up, He gave me purpose.” Whether it's running through pain, building a global Bible study group with fellow athletes like Nicola McDermott, or advocating for equal pay in women's sports, Natoya's strength goes far beyond the track. In this conversation, she speaks openly about the power of representation, the tradeoffs she's made for sport, and the beauty of building a life with someone who shares her Olympic dreams—her husband. Her hope? That people see her—and all women athletes—for their full selves. “We're not just out here to look pretty. We're powerful. We're worthy. And we're here to stay.” Photos provided by Natoya with her approval to use. ------- Flame Bearers is a multimedia movement, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

When Nicola McDermott was 8 years old, she had a desire to one day be an international High Jumper. After trying her hand at a large number of sports she found herself at Little A's and the already quite tall 8 year old felt right at home. She discovered early on that no woman in australia had ever jumped over 2 metres and that mark quickly became the dream. At 24 years old, the dream is now a working reality, which is hardly surprising when you come to appreciate the determination, focus and self belief that Nicola possesses. For the past 10 years she has equalled or improved her high jump PB each and every year. On the 18th of April 2021 at the National Champs she jumped 2 metres to become the first Australian woman to soar that high. She would go on to break the Australian Record again at the Olympics where she cleared 2.02m and finished with a Silver medal. McDermott captured the attention of the world in Tokyo, her unique approach to jumping includes journalling and rating herself after every attempt and a deliberate pre-jump ritual where she looks to the sky, starts the slow clap, yells COME ON and smiles the biggest smile that just fills everyone watching with joy. That smile, the journal and her devout faith are 3 constants that McDermott has with her at all times. The World Record currently stands at 2.09m and no one has seen a woman jump higher. I get the feeling that Nicola's faith and belief might just have us all witnessing something none of us have ever seen before in the near future.

We've made it- it's the final day of the Tokyo Games, and we have emerged intact, covid-free, and laden with sweet, sweet gold.The final days saw more success for Australia; God brought home Tom Green and Jean van der Westhuyzen for gold on a kayak, but could only afford Nicola McDermott a silver in the high jump. Nevertheless, does Liberal preselection await?Elsewhere, Keegan Palmer settled the debate on what constitutes an essential service, before we marvelled at the quick-thinking of Cedric Dubler in the decathlon. Then we pardoned the Kookaburras for breaking the rules for a few slabs.Triathlon is under the pump, with calls for a culture review emanating from a disgruntled former athlete- and that's good enough for us. Will they finally admit to the one glaring issue that has dogged the sport? And will Woman's Day play it's part?Finally, we wrap up this glorious no-fun event by discussing the winners and losers. Was our high finish in the medal tally adequate? How good was it to see the IOC finally get a win? Will the inevitable next wave of covid be worth it for Japan?Audio production courtesy of Tim ‘T-Dog' Eldridge.
