So near, but yet so far. The Olympic dream for ING’s own judo star, Esther Stam, ended when she lost by the smallest of margins because of a small penalty.

Now back in Amsterdam and working again in Risk Services, Esther shares her final ‘vlog’ from Rio which includes a sneak peak at the Olympic Village, behind the scenes at the Opening Ceremony, and reflection of her performance.

In her two earlier videos, Esther shows how she prepares in the Netherlands and trains at international events for the Olympics.

And what now? Esther has vowed to spend more time on work and less on sport.

“Winning a fight in the Olympics is an amazing feeling. I was there! Now it’s time to find my new dream.”
