Former Paralympic javelin champion Hollie Arnold says she has “fallen back in love” with the sport again.
After a turbulent few years former Paralympic javelin champion Hollie Arnold says she has “fallen back in love” with the sport again.
But then the Covid pandemic struck, throwing everything into disarray. The Tokyo Games were postponed for a year and the situation had a huge impact on Arnold’s mental wellbeing. “There was extra fire in my belly last year and being able to go out and prove myself was the best feeling ever,” she says.
“There are so many people who suffer with mental health, but the more people who speak up about it, the better,” she says. “You are not alone. Never feel afraid or that you don’t want to burden others. “I’m happy now in training and, although some people might see the change as a risk, for me it wasn’t and I have fallen back in love with javelin again.
