The Quicky Aussie Golden Girl Takes Us Behind The Birmingham Games
Last month, thousands of athletes from all around the world, including 430 Australians flocked to Birmingham, England for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
They swum, ran, cycled, goaled, hit, kicked and flipped their way into a very strong medal tally.
But, what's it really like to be competing in the green and gold? What is a day in the life of an Aussie athlete really life?
In this episode, we speak to Charlotte Caslick, co-captain of the women's rugby 7's team who made her way back to Australia last week with a gold medal around her neck, as well as former Aussie Boomer, Damian Martin who won gold in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, to find out what life in the village and on the playing fields of a Comm games is like.
