Jerry Tuwai - Gold Medal Olympian Tokyo 2021
Jerry: I was kicked out of school, so my mum and dad told me to do something else, and I looked into rugby. But it was hard due to my size. Because I'm small, growing up I was always the last one picked,”
“They saved all their money and called me one day to say that had bought some boots for me"
“I was crying while holding the boots because I knew the situation that we were in. They told me that this was my life now, and will put food on the table for us.
“From that moment on I wrote ‘knife’ and ‘fork’ on my boots, as they would help me provide for my family." - Jerry Tuwai
