International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry reflects on her extraordinary journey, from a two-year-old learning to swim with her family to becoming Africa's most decorated Olympian and now the first woman and African to lead the IOC. In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG), she recalls how personal dreams evolved into national pride, how returning home to Zimbabwe after Athens 2004 reshaped her sense of purpose and how her experiences as both athlete and policymaker now drive her leadership.
