Gold Medals to Green Lanes: Libby Trickett’s "Sport-ish" Revolution

View descriptionShare

"I always joke that I’m not a land-based mammal."

In 2024, she was the voice of the Olympics, but in 2026, three-time gold medalist Libby Trickett is on a mission to get you off the couch—even if you're not setting the world on fire with your lap times. In this vibrant and surprisingly funny conversation, Libby explains why she’s traded the "black line" of professional swimming for a local Brisbane swim club and adult dance classes.

Libby introduces her new podcast, Sport-ish, created in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission. It’s a "Norm: Life Be In It" for the modern age, focusing on social connection, mental health, and the sheer joy of movement. From the rise of Pickleball to the bizarre world of Walking Soccer (where you actually get a foul for running!), Libby breaks down how community sport is the greatest health initiative we have.
