Boxing. Bronze. “Brilliance”. Caitlin Parker became the first Australian female to win a medal in boxing at the Olympic games in 2024, and in the first episode back of The Secret Sunday Session (to kick-off Season 5), we sit down with Caitlin to hear all about it. 

S5 | EP.1 The Secret Sunday Session with Caitlin Parker. 

From entering a boxing gym at 11, to setting her eyes on Olympic gold 10+ years later, Caitlin opens up about her resilience in the ring while sharing the pitfalls of a sport based on weight and diet management. 

We start the conversation about “weight pressures” in sport, learning to have alternate “identities”, and knowing when to step back, take a break and soak it all in.
