Imagine this: the anticipation, the excitement, and the nerves that come with stepping out into an Olympic stadium, wearing the green and gold for the very first time. For me, it’s a visceral memory, and this year I had the incredible opportunity to revisit it in Atlanta, the city where my...

A very exciting announcement this week: I will be joining the board (OCOG) for the 2032 Games in Queensland! 

It will be my honour to help shape and deliver what will be the greatest event ever to come to Queensland, alongside Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Steven Miles MP and Patrick Johnson OLY...

It’s been a while between blogs, but that doesn’t mean life has slowed down… in fact, it’s quite the opposite! 

And while I still have a touch of the post-Tokyo blues (anyone else with me?), it was fantastic to welcome home our OLYmpic and Paralympic champions in...

While the dust settles on Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium, and our OLYmpians are getting stuck into two weeks’ quarantine, I’m sitting here – like I’m sure many Aussies are – still in awe of everything I’ve seen over the 17 days of extraordinary...

To say it was a HUGE first week of #Tokyo2020 would be an understatement! Our athletes have been absolutely world class, making waves with the best of the best! Because they are the best of the best!!

These Games will be unique for a number of reasons, but they will be especially important as a highlight in the lives of the athletes and young...

[Music] Time to dance a little.  I’m at the beach volleyball in Vienna and that is the crowd behind me watching the Austrian men’s team, it is phenomenal!

There is 10,000 people here which to put a bit of context in that is the same amount of people at the Bondi 2000...

What was Dawn’s advice worth? It was invaluable. We had done a lot of work in the last four years, but to be surrounded by so many wonderful people who wanted us to win and were prepared to unselfishly give so much of their time and advice was absolutely priceless. It’s amazing how...

I’d come a long way since Atlanta, but I was still looking for inspiration all the time. Fortunately, there was no shortage of it in Sydney. The deeds of Kieren Perkins, Cathy Freeman, Susie O’Neill and Ian Thorpe featured prominently. I watched the swimming on a night when we got...
