On Eid Al Etihad, we celebrate the spirit of the UAE with an inspiring story of grit and triumph, made possible with the support of New Balance 👟
In our special episode, we met Maryam Al Farsi, one of the UAE’s youngest Olympians and a true rising star. In just five years, Maryam went from picking up sprinting to securing her spot in the 100m at Paris 2024.
We step right onto the starting blocks with Maryam as she shares the raw, honest truth about her whirlwind journey. In this episode, she opens up about:
- The daily grind of balancing elite training with school.
- The electric feeling of breaking personal records.
- What it was REALLY like stepping into the Olympic Village alongside her sporting heroes.
Whether you’re looking for a dose of motivation, love an inside look at elite sport, or simply want to cheer on a phenomenal Emirati athlete, this conversation is packed with determination, laughs, and pure inspiration.
