going for gold (and sleeping in it) with beach volleyballer nat cook


Listen Later

Nat Cook is an Olympic gold medalist, in beach volleyball. She became the first Australian woman to compete at five Olympic Games in her sport.

When Beach Volleyball made its Olympic debut in 1996, Nat and her playing partner Kerry Pottharst claimed bronze. But the dynamic duo are best known for winning gold at Sydney 2000 on the sands of Bondi Beach.

But her passion for the Olympic Games kept burning long after her retirement. Nat is the founder of the Aussie Athlete Fund, a body designed to help young athletes pursue their Olympic dreams without financial burden.

She’s also a Director of the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Organising Committee, helping to create a lasting legacy for Aussie athletes like herself.


This chat is dynamic and full of what is an undeniable about of passion for the Olympic Games and unwavering belief in our Aussie athletes. We hope you enjoy it and it gets you into the Olympic spirit if you’re not already!
