Ariarne Titmus has long been a star, but it was at the Tokyo Olympics that the world truly took notice. She clinched gold in the 200m and 400m freestyle, triumphing over an elite field that included American superstar Katie Ledecky.

As she heads to Paris to defend her titles, her biggest rival in the 200m may come from a superstar within her own team. A fashionista and budding broadcaster, Ariarne Titmus is, above all, a fierce competitor in the pool.

Leading a swim team poised for greatness, could this be her last Olympics? Join us on the Road to Paris with the Terminator… Arnie.

If Australia's swim team were to nominate a spiritual leader, it would almost certainly be the irrepressible Cate Campbell.

A sprint sensation whose Olympic journey began in Beijing 2008, Cate is a four-time Olympic gold medallist. At the age of 32, she's all in for one more shot at the greatest show on earth, aiming to make the Australian team for an incredible fifth time at the upcoming Australian swim trials.

Universally admired and tough as teak, Cate is hoping to traverse the Road to Paris.

Andrew Gaze is the preeminent figure in Australian basketball for the last half-century. 

A key pillar in the Gaze family basketball dynasty, it isn't too far from the truth to say Andrew was born on a basketball court. 

Named NBL Rookie of the Year at 18 and an Olympian at 19, Gaze's career is marked by numerous accolades, including being an NBA champion in 1999, a two-time NBL champion (1993, 1997), a seven-time NBL MVP (1991, 1992, 1994–1998), and a fourteen-time NBL scoring champion (1986, 1988, 1989, 1991–2001). 

He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004 and elevated to legend status in 2022, joined the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2005, and was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2013. 

What a player!
