Tokyo 2020 & Rio 2016 discus thrower Matty Denny is joined on the show by Dean Hewitt and Tahli Gill, the first Australian curlers to earn an Olympic quota spot in curling.
The pair took some time out in Canada to share with Matty how they became one of only 10 curling teams invited to Beijing 2022.
A passion for curling runs deep in the Hewitt and Gill families, as both have parents that represented Australia in the sport.
Tahli talks about how her mum, Lynette, went from enjoying watching Olympic curling on TV in Queensland to competing on the world stage.
In Dean's family, he paired up with his mum Lynn for Australia at the 2017 and 2018 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships. She also introduced Dean's father, Steve, to curling and he competed at the Albertville 1992 Olympics when curling was still a demonstration sport.
