Bigger Questions: Episode 4 – The Immediate Aftermath - What’s The Power of Being First?

The Green Room: Questions That Matter Most In Business

They’ve done it. They’ve become the first.

Now what?

Sometimes you have to take a step back to see the impact that you’ve made.

But what is it really like being at the centre of it all? What emotions do you go through and when are you finally able to realise the importance of what’s just happened?

Episode four looks at the immediate aftermath of their first. What do they remember from that moment? Was it all about the singular event or did they see the wider impact it would have?

Does it leave a sense of fulfilment or is there a hole where the aim and ambition once was? What did they feel in the days after the event? What is it like knowing that everything you’d worked for had finally been accomplished?

In this five-part series, we explore the story of four incredible Olympians and Paralympians – Nicola Adams, Sarah Attar, Natalie Du Toit and Rose Lokonyen as we explore - what’s the power of being first?
