There is no doubting that swimming is the biggest Olympic sport in Australia, and one of its brightest stars over the last three Olympics has been Brianna Throssell. The triple Olympian first caught the world’s attention with her seven-medal haul at the 2014 Youth Olympics, and just two years later she was representing Australia at her first Olympics in Rio. She would go on to compete in Tokyo and Paris, retiring from the sport with four Olympic medals, including two golds. In this open and fun chat, Brianna reflects on her epic rise through the sport, talking about the high-intensity pressure of being on the Australian Swimming Team, how she maintained consistency over all those years, and which races stand out to her across her amazing Olympic journey. It’s honest, reflective, and an incredible insight into one of Australia’s biggest swimming stars, and one chat you won’t want to miss!

It's been a few months since we brought you a classic Games review episode, and what a way to come back! In this episode, we go over the history of the “forgotten” 1906 Intercalated Games in Athens, as we uncover just what these Games were about, why they happened, and why they’ve turned out to be so influential on the modern Olympic Games.
