The Summer Olympics in Tokyo are well underway as athletes from across the world represent their home countries and go all out to achieve a lifelong dream of winning an Olympic gold medal in their respective sport.
Passionate American and NTT INDYCAR SERIES athlete Conor Daly is rooting on the United States in every sport he can possibly find to watch. But he’s also rooting for a very specific athlete: Nicola Daly of Ireland – better known as his cousin Nicci.
Nicci is a forward for Ireland’s women’s field hockey team in this year’s Olympic Games. It is her first appearance in the Olympics. She and Team Ireland won the silver medal in the 2018 Women’s Field Hockey World Cup after a 6-0 loss to the Netherlands in the finals.
