Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to our inspiring and budding professional swimming girls who all are your fans, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in the field of swimming ?
Ms. Stephanie Rice:
I believe that all great athletes are born with a talent but it’s about combining that natural talent with a lot of hard work and making sure you have a great network around you, being surrounded by people that support and encourage you. But most importantly, enjoy what you do, because if you don’t really love what your doing then its very hard to get to the top. I believe in following your heart!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How did you feel after your memorable wins of three gold medals (each in world record time) in the 200 m and 400 m individual medleys and in the 4 × 200 meter freestyle at Beijing Summer Olympics 2008?
Ms. Stephanie Rice:
It was the best moment so far in my life. I still don’t think it has really sunk in!! Everything happened so fast in Beijing and I didnt really get a chance to stop and reflect on what I have achieved. I worked so hard to achieve those results so the feeling at the time was more relief than anything else but now I feel extremely proud and so thankful to everyone else who helped me get there.
Stephanie Rice on Women Fitness:
Thank you for the support over the years!!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
It is known that you had fought back in competitions with sheer determination against all odds and returned to win. How you were able to overcome mental block when your are trailing and then reverse the final outcome of the race in your favor and what advice you can give to fellow swimmer person in a similar situation?
Ms. Stephanie Rice:
I guess its something that I was born with!! I am able to tap into another level of determination and energy than most people. It was something that I practiced everyday in training. When I was behind, always pushing that bit harder for the last 10m into the wall. I also never want to finish a race with the feeling of regret that I could have gone that little bit harder.
