Events › Relentless: The Little-known Stories of Four Olympic Heroes

What defines heroism—not just in sports, but in life? And what traits help define a hero?

Explore the powerful, little-known stories of four Olympic athletes whose journeys reveal profound dimensions of heroism. Learn about perseverance from skier Gabriele Andersen-Schiess, courage from skier Brian Stemmle, sportsmanship from biathlete Tracy Barnes, and championing human rights from track athlete Peter Norman.

Through vivid storytelling and audience reflection, we’ll consider how their lessons on perseverance can inspire our own stories.
