With peroxide blonde hair and signature oakley sunglasses Kathy Watt took Australia by storm in the 1990s and 2000s.

She’s still the only Aussie to win road cycling gold at the Olympics and in this candid interview she tells Sam Squiers how proud she was to achieve what her late father couldn’t.

Kathy speaks about her early training years, in the same stable as a very young Cadel Evans, and admits to a very poor choice of clothing for her first ever cycling race (9:23).

She explains why a local bike shop came to her rescue at the Barcelona Olympics, when Australia team officials turned her away (28:06) and opens up on the years of bullying she had to overcome just to compete in the sport she loves.

Finally, she explains how she managed to come back and win silver at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, at 40 years of age (48:33) as well as he passion for photography, that has allowed her to stay connected to cycling.
