Alice Dearing, the first Black woman to swim for Great Britain in the Olympics, hopes she has left a legacy after announcing her retirement a day before her 27th birthday. Dearing competed in the 10km marathon swim at the Tokyo 2020 Games, finishing in 19th place, having previously believed she was not good enough to reach the top level. She told Sky Sports News : "It was incredible to be able to compete for Team GB in the Olympics. It is something I daydreamed about as a child but never really believed I would do, to be quite honest. "I didn't think I had it in me, I didn't think I had the talent.
