HAVE A GO AT OLYMPIC SPORTS
Samatha Reid made her Olympic debut at the 2008 Beijing. Aged just 19, the Queenslander was the smallest member of the team. Her 158cm frame means she has to hold herself a little higher to match the other swimmers, but helps when doing lifts. Reid and the Australians placed seventh in the team event in 2008. Reid went on to make her second Olympic Team for the London 2012 Games where the team finished eighth.
