When we last spoke with Australian taekwondo athlete Leon Sejranovic at the end of 2023, he was riding high off his World Championship success that saw him win a bronze medal. Full of confidence and in red hot form, Sejranovic headed into his first ever Olympics as a genuine medal threat and a chance to break a 24-year medal drought for Australia in taekwondo at the Olympics. Unfortunately for Sejranovic it wasn't to be, with the 22-year-old bowing out in the repechage round. Despite his disappointment from Paris, Sejranovic is pushing hard towards LA in 2028 and achieving his dream of an Olympic medal, and in another great chat with him he goes over just how he is bouncing back from Paris and why he will be an even bigger threat at his second Olympics in just over three years time. He also talks about all of his Olympic experiences on the ground, find out just what it was like to compete in the Grand Palais and learn just why Timothée Chalamet may be a big part of his future. It's a chat that you won't want to miss, so get to listening!

For Australian shooter Elena Galiabovitch, her third Olympics didn't exactly go to plan. Competing in both the 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events, she performed below where she expected to be and left Paris bottling her experiences up and not wanting to talk about them. But as we welcome back Elena to the show today, she finally opens up about her experiences at the Games in 2024 and find out just what happened and how she now feels about the prospect of continuing on towards a fourth Olympics. It's a deep and emotional dive into the psyche of an Olympian like you've never heard before, as we not only cover the lows of Paris, but also find out how those lows were transformed into some moments that she now can reflect back on with a smile on her face. Click away, listen away and be blown away by one hell of an interview!
