If there was ever an athlete ‘born’ to participate in a particular sport, it’s Sergei Evglevski. He will represent Australia at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games in the pistol events.
For former NSW Breakers and Sydney Thunder player Hannah Trethewy, her first opportunity to coach came when playing for her local club, Campbelltown Camden District Cricket Club (more affectionately known as Ghosts Cricket).
2020 was a year of disruption for our Australian athletes hoping to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games scheduled for July.
This weekend at Kingscliff, Danielle McKenzie will be one of many women competing in the start of the 2020 Nutri-Grain Ironwoman series.
Australia’s hopes for back-to-back Olympic gold medals in rugby sevens received a boost last month, when it was announced that Australian women’s sevens superstar Emilee Cherry had made the decision to extend her deal with Rugby Australia.
With nine wins and four losses, the University of Canberra Capitals ended the 2020 WNBL regular season in third place.
With a six-wicket win over the Hobart Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon, the Sydney Thunder secured their place in this year’s WBBL finals, and South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail can’t wait.
For Chloe Rafferty and the Hobart Hurricanes, WBBL06 has come to an end.
When I speak with Tess Flintoff from the Melbourne Stars, I’m not sure what I should congratulate her on first: the Stars making the WBBL finals for the first time in the franchise’s history or Flintoff finally finishing her Year 12 exams.
Even though Katie Mack is in her second season with the Adelaide Strikers, she can’t help but have a soft spot for her former club the Melbourne Stars.
Nicole Faltum has been part of the Melbourne Stars since WBBL03, but hasn’t had the chance to feature in a finals series.
Melbourne Renegades coach Lachlan Stevens says he’ll remember “being tired and a little stressed” living the ‘hub life’ throughout WBBL06.
Last month, an agreement between Basketball Australia, Foxtel and the ABC ensured all 60 games of the WNBL season would be shown live across the country – and Bec Cole of the Southside Flyers was an unexpected beneficiary.
When sports fans reflect on 2020, no doubt one of the first words that will spring to mind is ‘hub’.
Over the last six years, the WBBL has developed into the best domestic cricket competition in the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant a lot of change to the way the WBBL season looks this year.
The last year has been big for Annabel Sutherland.
When Hannah Dodd travels to Tokyo for the 2021 Paralympics as part of the Australian women’s national wheelchair basketball team, it won’t be her first Paralympic Games.
It’s been a tough couple of years for the Hobart Hurricanes in the WBBL.
After seven matches in WBBL06, all-rounder Taneale Peschel has taken the most wickets for the Perth Scorchers.
I certainly plan to, Hugh! Watch this space.
Cherry on top: Emilee recommits to sevens ahead of the Tokyo Olympics
Hugh, honestly. I was in absolute awe. To hear about how hard she worked to return to elite sport in just eight months absolutely floored me.
Rugby AU do cop a lot of flack, but I couldn’t agree more – when it comes to Sevens, it is absolutely a world leading program.

Brett, I hear that they are absolutely the pride of Canberra. It’s so good to see the team have so much support.
Marianna Tolo and the Capitals pushing for historic three-peat
Mick, that makes my day. Thank you so much! I hope your daughter is enjoying the competition as much as I am!!
Taneale Peschel returns from injury stronger than ever
Glad you are enjoying them as much as I am!
Meet Tegan McPharlin, the Strikers' introverted wicketkeeper
Thank you Scott! I’m just getting started!
I can’t wait to watch Bec either, what an incredible couple of years she has had!
The WNBL season is an opportunity for Rebecca Cole
Wasn’t that special, Mick!
Ferling good! Holly confident the Stars can snare a WBBL top-four finish
I did ask her about this Dave! Chloe said she was worried about getting split in half.
Cross-code collaboration helps Dalton in her quest for back-to-back gold
Thanks for the support, LBJ!!

Boomeranga, she is an absolute superstar!

It was an absolute pleasure Gillian. Your daughter is a talent and an absolute delight!
New winter training facility is a game changer for Abbey Willcox
Dave, does that include Lauren and Mahalia? Who am I missing? ????
Sharni Williams recommits to sevens ahead of Tokyo Olympics
That’s right, James. Given the 7s women do not have any games at the moment, it is a great opportunity to get some game time, meet some incredible women and potentially learn some new skills.
I am loving seeing them play in the NRLW too. All three killed it last weekend!
Sharni Williams recommits to sevens ahead of Tokyo Olympics
Thank both for your support. I’ve been doing as much coverage of women’s sport this year as possible, but they do tend to have less engagement. I also wonder whether because this is a ‘feel good’ story, it may get less comments? When I write opinion pieces on more divisive topics, they are the ones that tend to go viral.
Sharni Williams recommits to sevens ahead of Tokyo Olympics
They sure can! Rugby league is just borrowing them for a little while.

Oh my goodness, Stu, YOU WERE THERE? Did you get tickets randomly in the ballet? Oh what a wonderful memory and glad it is still such a fond sporting memory for you.
On this day: The Aussie Stingers win gold at the Sydney Olympics
Thanks Paul! I hope she gets a chance to show us what she can do – she had such a brilliant WBBL last year and hopefully that good form continues.
Belinda Vakarewa rewarded with return to Aussie squad
Insidious content? Wow.
Melissa King hopes to leave a legacy through the FIBA Women's World Cup
Landcruiser, I’m confused? It would be good to understand why you think this is a political article?
Melissa King has just been appointed CEO of the LOC for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup and I was interested in hearing her vision for the event.

My pleasure, James! I also had the chance to speak to Jemima Montag last week and she is another incredible athlete.
I can’t wait to (fingers crossed) cheer them both on at Tokyo!
An Australian record and getting engaged all part of a big year for Jessica Hull
Thanks Josh!
What I found really interesting was that at Rio, mixed gender became compulsory in the open sailing category. In most mixed teams, the male looks after the physical side of it and the female looks after tactics. Lisa and Josh actually do it the other way round which I found very inspiring.

Thanks Paul! I can’t help it – too many good stories to share. Thank you for reading and for your support!
