Über diesen Titel
But there's more to the Queen of Butterfly than meets the eye, and here for the first time is the full and authorised story of Australian swimming's golden girl: her battle against severe depression, her cries for help that almost ended her life, and the extraordinary determination that overcame these physical and emotional pressures to reach the pinnacle of her career.

Beschreibung von Audible
Australian swimming great Petria Thomas opens her heart, and reveals the debilitating physical and mental secrets of what she had to overcome in order to achieve her Olympic dream. Kate Hoskings and Jim Daly share the storytelling, with the former taking Thomas’ voice, and the latter providing the context in which she excelled. A context, it should be noted, that included three shoulder and two ankle reconstructions, as well as a constant battle against pressure and expectations for a three-time Olympian and World Championship titlist. Thomas’ grit, determination and steely will to win are highlighted in the ultimately uplifting autobiography of one of the greatest butterflyers of all time.
