Brayelin & Jinery Martinez
Brayelin and Jinery Martinez were born in Santo Domingo, on a small Caribbean Island.

Together they had to face many difficulties, but learnt to overcome them and in the progress becoming stronger and more passionate each step of the way. These two sisters, together with their team, created such a strong bond between them that it helps when facing pressure and expectations of a whole nation.

Helen Glover
After Helen Glover returned from Rio in 2016 with a glorious gold medal, emulating her achievement in London four years previously, she took the decision to step away from her beloved sport of rowing. In the years that followed she didn’t so much as sit in a boat or on a rowing machine, instead starting a family and dedicating her time to raising three children. During the 2020 lockdown she returned to the rowing machine to discover that she still had the fitness and passion to compete at the highest level. Helen hopes her incredible journey can help inspire people and show that having children should not mean an end to something that they are passionate about.

ROBERT FARAH AND JUAN SEBASTIAN CABAL
We visit Bogota, Colombia in the next instalment of our "For the Moment" campaign to see how childhood friends Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah have captivated a nation by their meteoric rise to the top of the tennis world. Having won back to back Grand Slams at Wimbledon and the US Open, the Colombian duo finished the year as the World No.1 ranked men's doubles players. It's certainly not been an easy ride for them particularly in a football crazy country not renowned for tennis - but they've done it their way, through hard work, friendship, trust and understanding. Cabal and Farah are the complete package and the new masters of their craft, inspiring a new generation of Colombian tennis players and fans following their every move.
