Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, divisional senior vice president Commercial Operations, Centre for Emirates Airline said: “As an ardent supporter of sports around the world, Emirates knows how determined and relentlessly hard these athletes work and we were inspired to share their stories.
“This series will show the commitment and heart they gave to achieve their dreams. This level of story-telling – raw, passionate and honest aligns with our brand values to connect people with their passions, interests and aspirations.”
