As we continue to celebrate 25 years since the unforgettable Sydney 2000 Olympics, we’re thrilled to welcome another gold medallist from those incredible Games, Aussie sailor Tom King. Join us as we dive into his remarkable career and relive memories from those glorious two weeks a quarter of a century ago. We explore why sailing was always the journey he was destined to take and how his Olympic dreams intertwined with that path to reach the very peak of his sport. Tom also shares what it was like to be swept up in the magic of Sydney 2000 and why he feels the achievements of the sailors in those Games deserves more attention. On top of that, we uncover his thoughts on being featured on a postage stamp, whether Brisbane 2032 can match Sydney’s legendary Games, and why Australia remains so good in sailing. It’s an epic chat full of epic memories in an interview you won’t want to miss!
