Episode 595 - Lara Hamilton Post-Milano Cortina Interview

Australian ski-mountaineer Lara Hamilton joined us ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics to give incredible insight into her sport, her journey, and the challenges she faced in pursuit of her Olympic dream. Since that chat, that dream has become reality, with Lara making history as the first Australian woman to compete in ski mountaineering at the Olympic Games. But while she reached the Games, the experience came with its own challenges, pushing her to limits she never thought possible. In another fascinating conversation, Lara reflects on how her Olympic campaign unfolded, why it proved even tougher than expected, and whether it lived up to the hype. We also hear how a spider somehow played a role in her journey, what it was like dealing with increased attention on the world stage, and what comes next following her breakthrough moment.
