About this episode
Twenty years on from winning Olympic bronze in singles at the Athens 2004 Games, Alicia Molik reflects on her 'career pinnacle' achievement. She remains the only Australian tennis player to have won an individual medal since the sport returned to the Summer Games in 1988. The then-23-year-old’s performance ignited a fruitful six-month period in which she reached the Australian Open quarterfinals and cracked the WTA top 10. Molik sits down with Matt and Viv to reminisce about life in the Olympic village, her emotions standing on the medal dais, and how it felt to achieve Olympic success compared with other tennis prizes.
