The Beijing Olympian has twice finished in the top two in the Crystal Globe standings, and created history in 2024 by becoming the first ever Australian sliding athlete to win a World Cup gold medal. But for 'Bobsled Bree', it's only the beginning, as she sets her sights on her second Olympics in Milano Cortina in 2026 and aims to create further history along the way. In another great chat with one of our favourite guests, Bree goes over just what has changed to create such an incredible period of success for her, how she is coping with the added eyes in the lead up to the 2026 Olympics and also just how she thinks Chairy can help her along the way towards Italy next year.

When we last spoke with Australian taekwondo athlete Leon Sejranovic at the end of 2023, he was riding high off his World Championship success that saw him win a bronze medal. Full of confidence and in red hot form, Sejranovic headed into his first ever Olympics as a genuine medal threat and a chance to break a 24-year medal drought for Australia in taekwondo at the Olympics. Unfortunately for Sejranovic it wasn't to be, with the 22-year-old bowing out in the repechage round. Despite his disappointment from Paris, Sejranovic is pushing hard towards LA in 2028 and achieving his dream of an Olympic medal, and in another great chat with him he goes over just how he is bouncing back from Paris and why he will be an even bigger threat at his second Olympics in just over three years time. He also talks about all of his Olympic experiences on the ground, find out just what it was like to compete in the Grand Palais and learn just why Timothée Chalamet may be a big part of his future.

For Australian shooter Elena Galiabovitch, her third Olympics didn't exactly go to plan. Competing in both the 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events, she performed below where she expected to be and left Paris bottling her experiences up and not wanting to talk about them. But as we welcome back Elena to the show today, she finally opens up about her experiences at the Games in 2024 and find out just what happened and how she now feels about the prospect of continuing on towards a fourth Olympics. It's a deep and emotional dive into the psyche of an Olympian like you've never heard before, as we not only cover the lows of Paris, but also find out how those lows were transformed into some moments that she now can reflect back on with a smile on her face.
