How Do I Make a Difference in My World? With Naa Anang & Nicola Olyslagers

52Q

In this episode we're looking at ways that we can make a difference in our own worlds and getting some inspiration from Naa Anang and Nicola Olyslagers (née McDermott).

Naa and Nicola are both elite athletes, and have both represented Australia in track and field.

Naa etched her name into the annals of athletic history by winning both the Australian long jump and 100-meter title in 2019 – a feat that had not been achieved in over 70 years. With a personal best of 11.2 seconds in the 100 metre sprint, Naa also received a bronze medal in the 100 metre relay at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games and is the current national champion in the 100-meter sprint.

Nicola is a specialist high jumper who has medaled at both the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. She has won the high jump silver medal at the Olympics in 2024 and 2020, and also won gold at the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

Naa and Nicola are the founders of Everlasting Crowns, an initiative that inspires athletes to glorify God through sport.
