Every medal has its price, especially Nafi Thiam’s 3rd in a row: that’s why you chose her as the best woman

In eight years, Nafi Thiam has become a household name in Belgium, and a monument in her own sport and a guarantee of gold. In Paris, the athlete went down in history as a three-time Olympic champion. Du jamais-vu. “Three tributes,” writes HLN journalist Valerie Hardie, who had been following Thiam closely all this time. And you also put her at 3rd place in our ‘Belgian of the Year’ ranking, and the first woman. “But Thiam also realizes that time is ticking against her. Ten days after Paris she turned thirty. How long will her body and her golden empire last?”
