Since first joining us on the podcast in 2023, Stacey Hymer has continued her rise through the sport of taekwondo that saw her go all the way to her second Olympics in Paris in 2024. It was a rise that also saw her took gold at the Pacific Games in the lead up to her second Olympics, a gold medal that Hymer used as a spurring point as she pushed to break Australia's 24-year medal drought in Olympic taekwondo. And although an Olympic medal wasn't to be for Hymer in Paris, she took a lot away from her time at the Games in a whole variety of different ways. In this great chat with Hymer, she details exactly what those ways were and lets us know that even despite losing in the first round at the Olympics for a second time, still is still able to reflect back on her experience as one of the greatest days of her life. She also explains how she is using her added Olympic experience towards growing the sport more in Australia and just how she hopes to use that in a push to a third Olympics in LA in 2028 and just what she may use it for in Brisbane in 2032. It's another incredibly open and honest chat with Stacey that you won't want to miss!
