The Road to Tokyo – Ep #12 – Marianna Tolo – Why winning Olympic basketball medals are so difficult!
I recently had a fantastic chat with Opals basketballer, Marianna Tolo about her overall experience at Tokyo 2020 and what made it extra special.
We also spoke about the excitement of Marianna playing basketball in France and her breakout game for the Opals where she scored 26 points and pulled in 17 rebounds against Puerto Rico.
Marianna discussed the difference in Tokyo vs the Rio Olympics, why it was so special for the Boomers to win their first ever Olympics medal, some of her funny team mates, the pranksters of the group and how the girls dealt with the Olympics being postponed for twelve months.
Marianna is also an ambassador for the Kids Alive do the Five Water Safety Program and we really appreciate Trina from Ignite for arranging the chat and of course Marianna for her time.
Thanks to the team from PodBooth for a great job of filming and editing the video and thanks also to our partners Anytime Fitness and Renelec Electrical Services.
