We’re joined by elite racewalker and Olympic athlete Jemima Montag. She has recently returned home from the 202 Commonwealth games, after winning gold in the 10,000-metre event. In addition to her sporting accomplishments, Jemima is also a full-time medical student, and international Olympic committee young leader, who is pioneering a program to help break barriers for young women in sport. We spoke to Jemima about common misconceptions associated with the sport of race walking, her involvement with project supernova at the Australian institute of sport, and her holistic approach to preparing for elite-level competition.
