Since last appearing on this podcast, Grace Brown has gone on to massive things. The Australian cyclist created history in Paris at her second Olympics by becoming the first ever Australian woman to medal in the road time trial, a medal that just happened to be gold. The gold medal was Australia's first of their record breaking Paris 2024 campaign, and also happened to be the first ever summer gold medal for a member of Team OTP. Grace then added two World Championship gold medals to her name a month later, and retired from the sport. And in another great chat with Brown, she goes over her incredible 2024 and just how she was able to achieve such amazing success, and how some unique lead up events that many would find hard to deal with might have actually helped her on her path to glory. We also find out how her Paris experience compared to her Tokyo experience, learn more about those damn village chocolate muffins and also discover why there could be a bit of skateboarding or breaking in her future. It's an epic chat with an epic individual that you won't want to miss!…
