Athlete endorsements are nothing new in the sports world. From Michael Jordan to Caitlin Clarke, sports stars are more than just athletes, they're mega influencers and brands want a piece of the pie. But can you blame them for wanting to cash in while they can? Well, Australia certainly loves to cut down a tall poppy. So today on the show, Abbey and Georgie take a look at the biggest examples of star power in sports, and whether or not Aussie fans can truly embrace the off-field profile of our own athletes.

Misinformation quickly spread online and reignited the debate over gender and sports. But the real story of Imane Khelif is one of dignity and honour.
