Sophie Becker on the Support that Impacted her Athletic Career

Flogas are the official energy partner of Team Ireland. And to keep the energy going from the success of the Paris 2024 games, Flogas will donate €20 to the ‘Make a Difference Athlete’s Fund' for every new customer that signs up to the Flogas Team Ireland Dual Fuel Tariff, supporting Irish Olympians on the road to LA28. To celebrate, we sat down with Olympic Athlete, Sophie Becker, to explore the support she has had over the years and how it has helped her to become the athlete she is today.
