Mahina Paul

What grabs me about Mahina Paul is the scale of the leap: from Whakatāne, a small town on New Zealand's coast, to an Olympic gold with the Black Ferns Sevens in Paris. Sevens is a brutally exposing format, all space and lung-burning sprints, and to be in that squad at her age means she earned it the hard way. I tend to admire athletes who let the scoreboard do the talking, and with so much of her profile kept private, she reads as exactly that type. I'd happily keep an eye on where her career goes next.
