Another cause to determine Rugby .
When the Olympics roll around every four years suddenly everyone’s inner sports fanatic is unleashed. It’s a rare moment in time when it feels like the entire world is watching the same thing at the same time. Every event is an immediate conversation starter and our love for athletes grows by about 300%*, even when we didn’t know them before.
- base on vibes not fact
With each passing event the hype increases and when an Aussie athlete steps up to the plate my reaction is accurately depicted by this clip of Erin fromThe Office:
But Team Australia’s Olympians aren’t the only athletes I’d like to see with a gold medal. Rugby 7s starIlona Mahershould get one too…
…For carrying #OlympicsTok on her back!
Even before she entered Paris' Olympic Village (or the Villa, as she calls it), the Team USA star was sharing behind-the-scenes moments of her life — on and off the field.
From recreating Love Island skits to sharing reminders about eating and listening to your body, here are some of the videos that have made the Internet fall in love with Ilona Maher’s Olympic journey:
1.This moment when she wanted to secure the luxury hotel bag for her and the womens' rugby team…
