With only a week to go till the 2024 Olympics begin, we're bringing you another exciting interview as we return to the sport of judo and speak to two-time Aussie Olympic judoka Katharina Haecker about her amazing career and her expectations ahead of her third Olympics in Paris! We find out her journey through the sport and just how she was able to rise the global judo ranks from a country that isn't exactly renowned highly in the sport. We also find out about her two Olympic experiences in Rio and Tokyo and why both are spurring her on towards Paris. Added to this we learn some more intricacies of the sport, find out just what it would mean to her to break Australia's long judo drought at the Olympics when it comes to medals and see just why she thinks Chairy would be the ultimate judoka. It's an incredible chat to really get you in the mood ahead of Paris! So get excited and get tuned in!
