In episode 77, Blenheim Partners’ Gregory Robinson speaks to Australia’s Team Captain and flagbearer from the 2016 Rio Olympics, two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Anna Meares OAM in the latest episode of the No Limitations podcast, “Dedication Beyond Comprehension.”
In an exciting conversation, we are treated to Anna’s tales of triumph, perseverance and overcoming adversity. She shares with us her fascinating career on and off the banked tracks of the velodrome: from the moment that ignited her quest for success to the tremendous dedication required to compete on the biggest stage. Despite the setback from a terrible accident early in her career, she defied the odds, recovered and continued her journey to the Everest of her sport. Finally, we hear about Anna’s endeavours after her stellar track cycling career and how she continues to inspire the coming generations.
As the most decorated and successful female track cyclist in history, Anna is the first Australian athlete to win four individual medals at four consecutive Olympic Games. She also set world records and won numerous honours in World Championships and Commonwealth Games in her 22 years in the sport.
