Rusten Abrahams
Graduated in a BSc Honours in Biokinetics and currently doing his part time studies in Psychology. “My Olympic experience was quite interesting. One of the SA Hockey player’s Mohamed Mea, ruptured his Achilles and I was called up. I landed in Tokyo on June 23, 2021. The overall experience was one I hold dear to my heart. The Olympic Games are the biggest stage for Hockey like many other sports. Arriving to the village was a dream come true. Being in an environment that screams excellence was amazing. To play the sport I love at the highest level is truly the highlight of my hockey career. I hope to experience more multi-sport tournaments in the future.”
