At the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Nary was a proud impromptu flagbearer for Cambodia crossing the finish line.
Rich in anecdotes and characters, The Nary Ly Story is moving and emotional, mixing tears and laughter. It explores how we acquire knowledge, motivation, and the ability to set a vision for life. It's a testament to one woman's dream to represent her struggling country and build the Olympic spirit of international unity.
