Letter of the month

I loved your story on our Olympic swimming champions (Our Golden Girls, AWW, September). Watching them compete and carry themselves with such stoicism and grace was truly inspirational. As if competing for your country isn’t stressful enough normally, they have had to endure the added intensity of COVID. They have buoyed Australia’s spirits at a time when we needed it most. Watching these girls achieve greatness was exhilarating.
