lauren jackson’s journey to making the greatest sporting comeback in australian basketball
Manage episode 434244661 series 2971802
The GOAT of Australian Basketball.
Every time we hear that phrase, one particular athlete always springs to mind.
And considering she’s just become the first Australian to win FIVE medals across FIVE Games, there’s no better time to have her back on the pod.
It’s been almost two years since we spoke to Lauren Jackson and during that time she was gearing up for an impressive 5th Basketball World Cup and one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
It hasn't been the easiest journey to get there with a broken foot, torn Achilles, two ruptured planta fascias and a lot of sacrifices along the way.
But that comeback has become even more impressive, because LJ is not only a 5x Olympian but now also a 5x Olympic medallist.
Chloe sat down with the GOAT just days before
she hopped on the Plane to Paris, full of hope for her last Games. Now she returns to Australia with another bronze medal around her neck.
This series is presented by Nike, championing athletes like LJ, listening to athletes’ needs and supporting them throughout all their journeys.
