Bree Walker always knew she wanted to be an Olympian, but it was just a matter of which sport would help her to achieve that dream. From horse riding to track and field, it was eventually the bobsleigh track where she found her calling, and picked up the famous nickname Bobsled Bree. Paying her own way to get into the sport, Bree set her eyes on the 2022 Beijing Games - where she achieved Australia’s best Olympic bobsleigh finish.  But that was only the beginning, going on to win Australia’s first ever World Cup gold medal last year, and even more to date. This week, Bobsleed Bree shares her path to achieving her lifelong Olympic dream and how she’s lprepping for the upcoming 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympic Games.

In 2018, the Australian Diamonds lost the Commonwealth Games final by one goal. While the Diamonds have tasted plenty of successes since, it was that one-goal loss that’s continued to motivate Liz Watson ever since. Liz is now in her fifth year as captain of Australia’s Netball Team, the Diamonds. Along the way, she’s steered the ship through some of the team's toughest times – from negotiating a new Collective Player Agreement to fronting a media scrum amid the Hancock Prospecting sponsorship saga. But she’s also led the side to some of its best successes on court, including consecutive gold medals at the Commonwealth Games and Netball World Cup. Her secret to success as a leader? Remembering that everyone in the team is also a leader. This week Chloe sits down with Liz as the 2025 Super Netball Season heats up and her Sunshine Coast Lightning are on the verge of a finals berth. We hope you enjoy this episode.
