Esther Qin
“Esthy” Qin competed in the women’s springboard events in the Rio and Tokyo Olympics and is a four-time Commonwealth Games and World Championship medallist. The diving legend recently announced her retirement to pass on her experience to the next generation of young athletes.
Few doubt the immense sacrifices athletes make for their sport. For Esthy Qin, moving to a new country and culture was daunting. World-class divers like Esthy Qin didn’t get to the top by accident. It took superhuman levels of time, dedication and focus. For non-Olympians, possessing such capabilities is a dream. Esther had her view about dreams when she said, “Every morning, you have two choices: Continue to sleep with your dreams. Or wake up and chase them.”
Esthy Qin is the rarest of heroines. She is in every sense of the term, an Amazing Woman.
