Aussie gold medallists climb to new heights with Tokyo hopefuls
The AIS Gold Medal Ready (GMR) program is continuing its work to support athletes and NSOs as the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games gets ever closer.
Last month, a group of GMR alumni, including Olympic swimming champion Libby Trickett, spent an afternoon walking up Mt Ainslie in Canberra with members of the Australian Women’s Rowing squad.
Trickett said of the experience: “It’s so amazing to be amongst female athletes, I just resonate so much with them. They are fierce and they are focused, and I really hope in some small way that I help them prepare or help them think a little differently about what the Games are and what they are capable of.”

Aussie Spirit getting Gold Medal Ready for Tokyo
Australia’s women’s softball team, the Aussie Spirit, has had 11 gold medal champions in camp with them at the AIS as they prepare to pitch for an historic Olympic win in Tokyo.
The Aussie Spirit have called on the AIS Gold Medal Program to support their Olympic simulation camp at the AIS in Canberra, which has included mentoring from 11 Olympic and Paralympic gold medallists – known as the Gold Medal Ready Alumni.
The Spirit have claimed a medal at all four Olympic Games they have contested, but are leaving nothing to chance as they attempt to break-through for their very first Olympic gold in Tokyo.
