WOBBLES - AN OLYMPIC STORY
"There are moments when the world slows down for us, when time expands so that we can feel, see, smell acutelythat instant, and we become aware that these few moments will change our life. I had a thousand thoughts that stopped rushing for a few minutes - just long enough for me to swim four laps of the pool that would play host to the Olympics of the millennium."
This is Nadine's story. With skill, Nadine takes you inside the raw emotion of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the shock of a broken neck and the struggle to find balance in a life driven by the search for the perfect race. This candid and fresh insight into the world of elite-level swimming spans her career from the dream to what happened to an athlete after the show was all over. This is a story about an ordinary girl who wanted something extraordinary; a story about striving, about growing and learning from life, whatever it may hold. |
