About Yusra Mardini
Yusra Mardini has one of the most inspiring stories in sports. Mardini had to flee Syria, making the journey with her sister Sara. They survived despite their boat malfunctioning, which forced them to jump in the water and safely find their way to shore. Despite these tremendous obstacles, Mardini did not let her dreams die and she was a member of the first-ever Refugee Olympic Team in 2016. She was also a flagbearer for the team and went on to compete in 2020 as well. Following Mardini's initial Olympic run, she became the youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador for UNHRC. Her story continued to catch the eyes of many as she spoke in front of the UN General Assembly and met with the Pope. Mardini penned the memoir, "Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian: My Story of Rescue, Hope and Triumph. The Netflix film, "The Swimmers," also chronicled her story.

Olympic Athletes Who Inspire On and Off the Court
In this blog, we will explore some remarkable examples of Olympic athletes who inspire not only through their sporting prowess but also through their off-field contributions.
Olympic Athlete Speakers
The Summer and Winter Olympics have produced some of sports’ most iconic moments. The athletes that compete on this stage are admired throughout the world for the spirit they show while competing for their country. The popularity Olympic athlete speakers generate make them great for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. As a group, Olympic athlete speakers also come at the best value when compared to other sports speakers.
Female Athlete Speakers
Professional female athletes have become a major part of the sports world over the past several years. Women continue to reach new heights of popularity on and off the field by setting records and breaking social barriers. Examples of these extraordinary achievements include Serena Williams as the face of tennis, Jessica Mendoza being the first female broadcaster for Major League Baseball and Becky Hammon being the first female basketball coach in the NBA. As female athlete speakers continue to increase in popularity, corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, women’s groups and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired professional female athlete, coach or broadcaster at their event. Whether it be a speaking engagement, virtual meeting, trade show appearance, VIP Meet and greet, product endorsement or other events, the team at Athlete Speakers will work with your group or organization to find the perfect professional female athlete speakers.
Swimming and Diving Speakers
Swimming and diving speakers are some of the most popular personalities among their Olympic peers. Every four years, the champions in these sports become immortalized for their feats in the pool. Their performances on the world stage while representing their countries endear swimmers and divers to the public and make them popular guests for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. Their experience allows swimming and diving speakers to be experts on topics like commitment and perseverance.
