Sanita Puspure's return from the sporting brink was one of the great sporting stories of 2022.
Ireland's double world gold medal winning champion admits she was "heartbroken" after Tokyo last year, after all that painstaking work that went into qualifying for a third Games failed to yield a first Olympic medal for her.
She considered retiring in the aftermath. Instead, she bounced back by changing tack and winning World bronze with Zoe Hyde in the women's double sculls in September.
