In this week’s episode of Podshout, we meet the inspirational Gold Medal-winning Australian Olympian, Russell Mark OAM
Russell represented his country in the sport of shotgun shooting with distinction at 6 Olympic Games over 28 years, as well as 6 Commonwealth Games and numerous World Cup Events.
Russell shares with us the influence his father, Brian Mark, had on him, his progression through the sport, and why he got a tertiary education before pursuing his Olympic Dream.
We learn about some of the politics of Professional Sport and more importantly, Russell shares his views on some up and comers and future Olympic shooting prospects; including Laetisha Scanlon, James Willett, Penny Smith, and Paul Adams. He tells our listeners why the standard is so high for our female shooters at an Olympic level.
Our interview covers Russell’s life after his amazing sporting career in both business and in the media.
Finally, Podshout gets the scoop on some upcoming projects that Russell has been working on from the other side of the microphone.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
