Idowu’s Legacy
Phillips Idowu has come good in the last couple of years in the triple jump, winning the World Championships last year and the Euopean this year. In an interview in The Times he is quoted as saying this.
I want my kids to say, ‘Dad was good at what he did’, and they can tell their kids, ‘Grandad was good at what he did.’
They can also tell them about the upbringing I had and inspire them to know that you can still make the best of yourself. You can come from a really bad upbringing and be the best in the world. That’s my inspiration.
He is absolutely right.
