Annalise Murphy, an Irish sailor, brought home a silver medal from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in the women's laser radial competition. Growing up in a sporty family, Murphy initially saw sailing as a leisure activity but later pursued it professionally after competing in the Senior World Championships.
Annalise Murphy made Ireland proud when she took home a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in the women's laser radial competition.
She continued: “As a teenager, I was quite realistic and knew how hard it was. I thought, ‘I don’t know if I’ll ever be good enough. I don’t know if I have the talent to do this’. There was a turning point in her athletic career which saw Annalise defer college and focus solely on sailing. “I deferred my degree from college and went full-time to qualify for the Olympics. Everything changed for me.”Annalise said: “My fourth place finish in London had defined me for the past four years, so being able to get a medal was amazing.
