Evanne believes there are good life lessons to be learned from disappointment, a mindset she hopes to pass on to her three children - Séimí, Peigí and Teidí, whom she shares with husband Brian.
Evanne anchored daily coverage of Paris 2024 this summer, working in studio alongside a panel of sports experts for 16 days in a row. She will do the same for the Paralympic Games, which kicks off later this month.
