Amira's athletic talent

When Amira first auditioned for Holland's Got Talent in 2013, after wowing the audience with her performance, a judge asked her what her dream was for her life. She replied that she would like to be a singer, but if that did not work out, she would like to be an athlete and perform in the Olympics. This got a big laugh and applause. "Oh, two small things," said the judge to more applause.

Well in reality Amira is also an athlete. Her main sports are long distance running, steeplechase, and hockey. Here I thought I'd assemble some photos from over the years.

At last report, before the Covid lockdown, Amira had placed 1st in the 2000 meter steeplechase for the northwest region of South Africa, and was placed to compete in the nationals. The lockdown sadly put a stop to both her singing and athletic ambitions.
