Listen Later

On February 12, 2026, Cooper Woods ended a 7302-day wait for Australia by becoming the first Australian male Winter Olympic gold medallist since Dale Begg-Smith in men’s moguls. The victory marked a historic moment on multiple levels, delivering Australia’s first gold of a record-breaking 2026 Games and adding to the nation’s legacy in the discipline. Today on the podcast, we welcome Cooper to reflect on that day, how life has changed since the Olympics, and what it means to join Begg-Smith in the history books. He also shares some lighter moments from life since the Games, including shouting drinks for fellow competitors, trying to buy stamps without being recognised, and the unusual song he promised his mates he would listen to if he won gold! It's a wide-ranging chat with a Winter Olympic champion at the centre of a landmark Australian moment that you won't want to miss!
