A podcast telling the stories of regional and rural Australians who’ve made it to the 2024 Paris Olympics. It will detail the back story of life growing up on a farm, or in a regional area, how adversities like distance to training and eventing have been managed for the many years leading up to this point. We’ll also learn when we can watch these people in their Olympic event and get an insight into what’s going through their minds in that moment.

Look out for 21 year old Jamieson Leeson, who hails from Dunedoo in central west New South Wales in the upcoming Paralympics. She’ll be representing Australia in Boccia in both the individual and pairs events in the B3 classification. Boccia is one of the only sports specific to the Paralympics and basically it’s a ball target game that has similarities lawn bowls, boccie and snooker as well. No matter the result at Paris – Jamieson is already hailed a hero at home in Dunedoo where she’s been immortalised in a huge mural in the center of town. It does make me think of what her childhood was like there –I’m sure there were no other children scooting around the main street of town in a wheelchair Jamieson says it certainly had its challenges but mostly benefits.

Patrick Tiernan blew everyone's expectations when he was amongst the lead pack for the 10,000m track event at the Tokyo Olympics. Less than 100m from the finish line as the pace continued to increase, Pat stumbled to his hands. Many Australians can remember watching on in devestation for him, but in a moment of I-don't-know-what, he got up and willed himself over the finish line, still achieving a Personal Best (PB) time. Pat says Australians should be proud of how they embraced him in this moment and ever since. Pat is back for the Paris Olympics, but this time in the Marathon, a race he's been working towards for all of his running life - and one he says is much more enjoyable to run! This is Pat's third Olympics. His 90 year old Nan (his greatest hero) will be leading the cheer squad in his home town of Toowoomba, backed by her 24 grandchildren, all his cousins. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production Assistance by Alice Moffitt.

You may not have heard of Aislin Jones before but I challenge you not to impressed by this woman’s integrity, maturity and goal setting ability! Aislin will be competing in the Olympic Skeet Clay Target Shooting Event and then ever-so-casually will also take herself off to run a her first ever Marathon a matter of days later. As a child Aislin was one of those children picking up the broken clay targets at the local gun club on the weekend – as soon as she hit the legal shooting age of 12 – she was into it. That year she met her current coach – and mapped out an 8 year plan with the Tokyo Olympics as the goal. Talk about impressive life goals! Paris is her second Olympics - but she’s incredibly level headed about the whole journey reiterating that she constantly reminds herself that life is not this sport – and that she hopes to be in the game for many more Olympics to come. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia.
