Of course we need to discuss THE event of the olympics games which is the track and field.

And we’ve got Ex-Olympic Athlete from the 1996 Atlanta Games, 2 x Australian 5000m Champion and 1 x 10000m Champion, Julian Paynter. 

It cannot be understated just how special the Olympics are. And in this episode we dissect the highest of highs to the lowest of lows across all athletic performances (how good were our Aussies!).

Plus Jules offers his insight into dealing with the pressures and the mental games you go through as an athlete and how to get through it.

Keys to the episode:

• The performance that left the whole country with goosebumps
• How to race bravely
• Why experience counts on the big stage
• Our favourite moments from the athletics
• The importance of a pre race routine
• Just as important is a personal post race analysis
• Julian’s predictions for the 2024 Paris games
• How to pick yourself up after a bad race
• An easy tactic to take any nerves/pressure off yourself
• The value in community sport
