Justina Kitchen has rapidly established herself as one of the world's best female kitefoilers and has her sights on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
It will be her third attempt at competing at an Olympic Games after previous attempts in windsurfing but this campaign is completely different and she does it as a mum of two young girls. She's already achieved some notable results, including fifth at the 2019 European championships and two top-10 finishes at the world championships.
