If you were to look up the words 'Olympic legend' in the dictionary, chances are you would find a photo of Australian cyclist Anna Meares. The four-time Olympian won six Olympic medals across her stellar career, including two gold, and has gone on to become one of the most respected figures in Australian sports administration after her role as the Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic Team at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Today we are joined by Anna to go over her legendary career, from how a fly nearly cost her an Olympic gold medal in Athens, right through to THAT race in London and her experiences carrying the flag for Australia in Rio. We also get an insight into her post-Olympic career, find out what it is like to hang out with Thomas Bach and find out what perks you get once you have an entire building named after you. It's an incredible chat with an incredible guest that you simply can't miss!
