Matildas goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold has opened up on what the upcoming Paris Olympics mean to her after being overlooked in the previous two campaigns. Arnold is Australia’s clear first-choice keeper for the Games, having stamped herself as a star of the international game in the 12 months since last year’s World Cup. But it’s taken most of the 30-year-old’s professional career to get to this point.
Arnold said she’s putting the disappointment of the past behind her, but using it to remind herself how far she’s come. “When I think about potentially playing in Paris, it brings a lot of emotions up, and excitement’s obviously a big one,” she said. “I think I’m just so proud of myself to have gotten to this stage, because I think if I think back to three years earlier to when Tokyo was, I was probably nearly ready to quit.
