It's time to close out 2023 in style as we go back to the sport of taekwondo and chat with Aussie Leon Sejranovic, fresh off his recent World Championship performance which saw him bring home Australia's first medal in a Taekwondo World Champs in a decade! We learn from Leon about his rapid progression through the sport and how two former Olympians helped him along his journey and inspire him towards his Olympic dreams. We also learn just how close he was to making his Olympic debut in Tokyo and just how his performances have been able to be so strong in the subsequent years. Added to this we hear more about his incredible 2023 World Championship run, learn why going up a weight division for the Olympics is a whole bunch of fun and also discover just why Chairy could be the reason for him winning gold at the Olympics. It's a blast of a chat that you won't want to miss!
