Nia Jerwood and Monique de Vries have waited a lifetime to get the call to tell them they were going to the Olympic Games.
After breakout international performances in August 2019, they presumed that call was not too far off. However 2020 did not go as planned for the Perth-based duo, with COVID-19 and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics giving them cause to wonder if it would come at all.
So when the call came through earlier this month from Australian Sailing Director - Tokyo 2020 Olympic Campaign, Iain Murray, to tell them they were Australia s Women s 470 selection for this year s games it was a mix of relief and jubilation according to Jerwood.
