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.

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.
