Following the success of Ariarne Titmus in Tokyo, we can reflect on the accomplishments of 15-year-old Shane Gould winning both the 200m and 400m freestyle races in 1972. Shane became the only person to hold every world freestyle record from 100m to 1500m and the 200m individual medley world record simultaneously.

30 years later in 2002, Steven Bradbury, a four-time Olympian, won the 1000m event at the 2002 Winter Olympics, being the first athlete from Australia and the Southern Hemisphere to win a Winter Olympic gold medal.

28-year-old veteran of the Australian team, Brenden Hall, attended his fourth Paralympics in Tokyo. Brenden was the youngest male on the Dolphins swimming team in 2008 at Beijing, a gold medalist at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and has amassed an impressive total of 17 gold, eight silver and seven bronze medals across his international career.

Our MC “Spida” Everitt will chat to our legends from the Summer and Winter Games about their memories from the Games, lessons learnt, wisdom for our rising stars and life after “Gold“.
