Jessica Hull’s historic silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games is a testament to belief. No Australia woman had won a medal in the 1500m, but Hull believed not only that it was possible, but that she was the one who could do it, while taking on the greatest female 1500m runner in history, Kenya’s world record-holder and triple gold medallist Faith Kipyegon.
By the time the Olympic final started, she felt it was her destiny. Earlier in the day she had met up with her father and coach Simon and told him “I think I’m going to medal, I’ve just got a feeling”.
