Paris Olympics 2024 is just a year away. Most athletes are already in their last leg of preparations for the most prestigious tournament scheduled in the French capital next year. In today’s world, where dreams are met with scepticism more often than not, one individual aspires to achieve all her goals.

With Paris 2024 on the horizon, young swimming champion Stephanie Iannaccone has set her sight on the Olympics. Stephanie wields an immense passion for her sport and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Being a champion does not come easy and for Stephanie, that meant competing from a fairly young age.

Stephanie Iannaccone loves to compete

Stephanie is the youngest of 5 siblings. She believes that growing up in a household along with 4 brothers definitely made her competitive. Born in a sporting family, the young swimming champion is grateful for her father always supporting her and her siblings with sports. According to KTVU Iannaccone said, “I did rec swim. My whole family, like my brothers and I did recreational swim for a while, and then I switched over to year-round swim…I think at 11 or 12.”  Stephanie has been passionate about the sport her whole life and enjoyed dancing as well. But her love for the water ultimately made her pick swimming as her preferred sport.
