Tokyo Unleashed Podcast: Stacey Porter | Australian Olympic Committee

After softball was omitted from the last two Olympic Games, the Aussie Spirit will make a run for their fifth Olympic medal with dual Olympic medallist and first Indigenous Softballer to represent her country in an Olympic Games - Stacey Porter, at the helm.

Since Softball was added to the Olympic Programme at Atlanta 1996, Australia has medalled in every Olympics it contested, winning one silver and three bronzes.

Porter was instrumental in achieving two of these medals at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 and is currently only one of two people on the Australian squad who have ever competed in an Olympic Games.

After helping the Aussie Spirit of the early 2000's find the Olympic podium, Porter recently captained the team through the Asia Oceania Olympic Qualifiers where they won their spot at Tokyo 2020.

After a 12-year wait, going from a rookie at Athens 2004 to a stalwart and veteran today, Porter now has her sights set on Tokyo Olympic gold.
