Nikki Ayers is the first Australian woman to win a Paralympic Rowing Gold Medal.

But it was rugby where her love for sport truly started. She made the move from league to union when she was told she could no longer play with the boys.

From that moment forwards, Nikki set her sights on becoming a Wallaroo, until March 2016, which she describes as the moment that completely changed her life.

A tackle while playing rugby union led to a severe kneedislocation, where she underwent 16 operations in just 9 months in order to save her leg.

But this moment was the opening of a new chapter in Nikki’slife and career. Only eight years later she was standing on the podium at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games with a gold medal around her neck, spurred on by the mantra to only control what you can control. We hope you enjoy this episode
