South Africa's star swimmer Natalie Du Toit is up for the 'Laureus Sporting Moment Award' at the 2020 Laureus World Sports Awards.
Natalie Du Toit is a much-loved swimmer across the globe. Not just because she is fantastic at the sport, but because she has shown the world that anything can be overcome with the right mindset.
Du Toit, who had her left leg amputated at the age of 17, fought throughout her career to break barriers - and she did just that when she competed at both the Olympics and Commonwealth Games alongside able-bodied swimmers.
