hey say be careful what you wish for. As someone who’s never had much interest in playing sport, and even less ability, it’s hard for me to imagine spending a lifetime striving for Olympic gold.

I can’t even begin to contemplate the thousands of hours in the gym, the years of pre-dawn starts, the countless missed social engagements and declined slices of cheesecake it takes to be an elite athlete.

I cannot imagine what it must take to put your career on hold, your relationships on the back burner, in an all-consuming quest to be faster, better, stronger – to win Olympic gold.

Now as a fresh crop of our athletic best set their sights on gold in Rio, I can’t help but wonder if it really is worth the effort. Does the end justify the means?

That’s why we asked some of our favourite champions from past Games if winning gold really was all they thought it would be.

Read what they had to say inside. Their answers may surprise you. ●

hey’re a rarefied breed. Since the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, just 267 Australians have brought home a gold medal. For every one of them, this peak of sporting achievement was the culmination of years of sweat, sacrifice and determination – and afterwards, their lives would never be the same. Now as our best sportsmen and women count down the hours to Rio, four past winners reflect on life after gold. ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au

I

T’S with great affection that Libby Trickett reflects on winning gold. “The predominant impact that swimming had on my life was incredibly positive,” Libby says. “I feel incredibly privileged and also blessed that I’ve been able to do what I did for so long.”

Libby won her first gold medal in Athens in 2004 as part of the 4 x 100metre freestyle relay. “It was amazing. Just going to an Olympics is an incredible achievement and such a wonderful thing to be a part of.”

She went on to win gold again at Beijing in 2008 in the 100metre butterfly. Her Olympic medal tally sits at four gold, one silver and two bronze.

Libby says winning gold didn’t change her. “You realise that you’re the same person. It’s a wonderful achievement and a dream come true but it’s not as though you get a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I didn’t feel different. I didn’t feel like I had changed at all.”

It was only in retirement, after the 2012 London Games, that Libby felt the impact of gold. “Since retiring I’ve realised that I will always be known as Libby Trickett the swimmer, which is an interesting thing especially when you’re trying to establish yourself as a different person in the real world,” she says.

“And it can be hard for the ego at times. I was the best in the world at the age of 23. I’d reached the pinnacle of my sport, my craft. And then it’s – and this isn’t meant to be a negative thing – all downhill from there. I’m probably not going to be the best in the world at anything else.”

After so many years devoted to swimming, adjusting to the day-to-day world was not easy. “I’ve retired and come into the real world and you have to learn everything from scratch.”

Now 31, Libby lives in Brisbane and juggles caring for her 10-month-old daughter Poppy with working part-time in marketing at a technology company. She is also studying to become a personal trainer in the corporate world.

She says that, like many athletes, she struggled transitioning to life after swimming but she’s not complaining. “Pretty much every opportunity that I get now is because of my swimming.

I probably will be remembered until I’m on my deathbed as someone who once competed for Australia. I’m now at a point where I’m really proud of that, I can own it and I know that I’m a whole person, that there are other aspects to me, other than just my swimming career.”

But there were also negatives in winning gold. “When I started my full-time job you worry that people have these expectations of you that you can’t live up to,” she says. “[That’s] purely generated from my ego and the expectations and pressures that I placed on myself.

“There are moments where you think, ‘That was a lifetime ago’ and I’m such a different person. I was 23. I’m 31 now.” ●

PETER WILMOTH ASKS past OLYMPIc champions HOW WINNING GOLD CHANGED THEIR LIVES

Russell Mark

Shane Gould

shooting \ 1996 \ atlanta

swimming \ 1972 \ munich

R

OMETIMES Shane Gould says it would be easier if she didn’t have to do the Shane Gould recognition moment.

“Sometimes it’s distracting because it’s another persona, like a mask or a character,” Shane says. “I usually have to steer the relationship back to the here and now. I might be doing a transaction with the teller in the bank and, ‘Oh it was amazing, your career, I really admire you’, and you think, ‘This is nice’, and then I have to steer it back saying, ‘Can you put that amount in there please’.”

Shane was just 15 when she won five individual medals in the pool at the 1972 Munich Olympics: three gold, one silver and one bronze. That 15-year-old superstar is now 59 and her name is forever linked with those achievements.

“People pay so much attention to the medal,” Shane says. “To me it’s the process that changed my life. In order to get a gold medal there’s a bunch of things you have to do to achieve that.

I know that if it was a fourth place you probably wouldn’t be talking to me, but I would have gone through the same process to try and achieve a gold medal.”

After 30 years living around Margaret River in WA, Shane moved to a small town on the east coast of Tasmania seven years ago. Her four children are grown up. She says winning gold has had positives and negatives. “There are difficulties but there are incredible opportunities to be had. I love it. I’ve got a really healthy ego. It’s an identity. I embrace that.

“For me my positive was the athlete experience. I had no injuries, there was no abuse. I was respected among the squad, respected in the community, I had a sense of belonging to a sporting community. It gave me a strong identity, I learnt a lot about my body, I was given accolades and attention, which was good for my sense of self-worth.

“The negative experience was that I get locked in the past.

That was a snapshot in time; it’s as though one still image represents a person’s life. It precludes the narrative of me as a growing human being by locking me in the past, and that can be really frustrating.”

Shane says that when people keep saying ‘you’re amazing’, you start to believe it. “And amazing in every aspect of your life, not just [sport]. It sets you apart and makes you feel really special but that can isolate you. And you’re expected to be not only a good swimmer but a good speaker, you’re supposed to enjoy meeting strangers, you’re supposed to have expertise in politics and make comments. These expectations are quite unrealistic. It’s like a role where you get attributed other capacities.” ●

RUSSELL MARK

(SUPPLIED)

USSELL Mark’s children have “Olympic Day” coming up at school, and they would like to take to school the gold medal dad won in shooting at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. The medals have been on display at the Gallery of Sport museum since 2000.

Russell’s proudest moments are when his children realise what dad achieved. “This is probably where you understand the impact it has,” he says.

Winning gold was a life-changer for Russell. “When I jumped off the plane [in Atlanta in 1996] I was a full-time professional real estate valuer and when I came home I was a full-time professional shooter.

“I was offered a contract by Beretta [the biggest shotgun manufacturer in the world] on the night I won gold. I spoke to my father and said, ‘I can probably make more money shooting than I can valuing real estate’. [His contract with Beretta finishes at the end of this year].”

Winning gold set Russell up financially. “I was blessed because there was a home Olympics coming up [in 2000] and there was a lot of money around for Olympic sport,” he says. “I got some very good endorsements from some very big companies like Telstra and Ansett. My father owned a big real estate company in Werribee. He always had a business brain.

He said, ‘You’re earning far too much money, you need to start investing’.”

Russell and two partners now own a couple of hotels in Melbourne and he helps with his wife’s shooting range business. “It doesn’t last forever, but the only way you can make it last is to invest it into something. The other people who won gold medals might have bought boats or cars. I bought real estate.”

Russell had a non-romantic approach to winning gold, knowing it was just one aspect of his life. “It wears off really quickly. It’s great for a couple of weeks, the parades and all, but I did want to go back to my old life.”

Russell, 52, won one Olympic gold and one silver before he retired after the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The one downside in winning gold, he says, is losing anonymity.

“You’d be hard-pressed to say there have been negative things associated with it – unless it’s being recognised at the local Pizza Hut.” Russell says he never felt “defined” by gold. “I say this to school groups all the time – Olympic Games are great but it’s only sport. I’d like to think it hasn’t changed my outlook on life.” ●

SHANE GOULD

taekwondo \ 2000 \ sydney

HEN Lauren Burns won gold in taekwondo at the Sydney Games in 2000, people told her it would change her life forever. “But I never really thought what that might mean,” she says.

It didn’t take long to find out, and it was all good. The win supercharged her career speaking in schools and in the corporate world. Her bookings increased 100-fold.

“I retired straight away, which meant I could speak anywhere, anytime,” says Lauren, 42. “I was running around the country. I reckon it took about five years until I slowed down and took a breath.”

She wrote her autobiography (and a cookbook) and completed a health science degree. She also worked as a naturopath. She now juggles caring for two children, aged seven and five, with work on the speaking circuit.

She says winning gold was all positive. “One of the most positive things that has ever happened to me; it opened up a whole new world. On a personal level it deepened my understanding of myself and the impact self-belief can have on your life. It also took me to places I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to go.”

Life after the Olympics is a topic close to her heart.

She completed a four-year term on the Australian Olympic Committee’s Athletes’ Commission, where she was involved in developing an initiative that supports Olympians after retirement and through possible depression after a life in elite sport. Now she is undertaking a Masters at RMIT, looking at the impact of lifestyle on elite sporting performance.

“Sometimes it doesn’t happen straight away,” she says of the impact of an athlete’s career ending. “There’s an awakening moment when you go, ‘I’m not Lauren Burns the taekwondo girl, I’m Lauren the mum, the student, whatever is in my life’. Taekwondo was such a huge part of my life for such a long time … sometimes your sport becomes very entrenched in your identity. Some athletes can feel defined by it. It can come a year after they retire or five or 10 years [later].”

Lauren still enjoys the legacy of the medal. “I am still involved in talking about it, reflecting on it, being in contact with other Olympians. That’s still very much a part of my everyday life.” ●

Ask the wine guy follow the old restaurant rule Ionalways of ordering the second-cheapest wine the wine list. Am I getting value for money?

A

Value for money with any wine list depends on the restaurant. By selecting the next-to-cheapest wine you might not be getting the best wine to go with your meal. Lately I’ve been ordering my meal and then asking the sommelier for a wine option to match within a certain budget. This often results in a few different wines from the by-the-glass list.

Restaurants and bars often get discounts for pouring certain wines by the glass and occasionally they share the love. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

f there’s one thing I love doing more than eating, it’s eating with my hands. Something about rolling up the sleeves and forgoing the fork makes the experience feel primal and more satisfying.

Few cuisines lend themselves as perfectly to this penchant as Ethiopian food; saucy curries and multi-coloured lentils, mopped up with traditional yeasted flatbread called injera.

It’s the injera in particular at The Abyssinian that sets this Kensington fixture apart: piled up like a podium upon which everything dances, fluffy and fine yet spongy enough to absorb even the richest of gravies without disintegrating in your fingers.

Speaking of gravies, your best bet is to let the kitchen choose your table’s adventure with a platter of this and that. Just make sure they include the chicken – bright with turmeric – and the fish, coated in a deep red chilli sauce that belies a surprisingly gentle heat and delightful depth of flavour. What’s also delightful is the chargrilled eggplant entree. I loved the dish so much, I’m still regretting ordering only one serve.

This is cheerful dining you’ll want to share with friends, the kind you’d be happy to get messy on the injera podium with. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

Prize, once described science as a satisfactory philosophy of ignorance. You work to understand things always on the basis that your understanding may be shown to be wrong tomorrow. And when it is, you’re delighted because you’ve learnt something.

“The most valuable thing science can give to a society is not a load of facts, but the central idea that you can always be shown to be wrong.”

It’s hard to think of a better ambassador for science. Brian’s relaxed, chatty style is far from the stereotype of a starchy academic in a lab coat. He used to be a pop star, after all.

His live show aims to inspire a bit of scientific fervour at Jeff’s Shed. “I think the excitement in science is when the things you discover almost seem incomprehensible. You just can’t get your head around what the data is telling you.

“This whole show is that, really. Can you believe this stuff? I can’t tell you what to make of it but I can tell you what we found out, which is ridiculous.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

ritish scientist Brian Cox has a knack for explaining the incomprehensible.

While his day job is teaching particle physics at the University of Manchester, he’s gathered a staggering international following for books, podcasts and TV series that break down life, the universe and everything into bite-sized pieces.

He’s coming to Melbourne with a new live stage show, exploring the secrets of the cosmos. And he promises he will do his very best not to blind us with science. “Science is really just looking carefully at nature and trying to understand it,” he says.

“You look at a rainbow and think, ‘Why’s that?’ Every time scientists tried to understand a rainbow they made more progress in understanding light. Understanding light

AVENUE Q The world’s most wicked Muppets return to Melbourne this week for a strictly limited season.

Brazenly trampling on your fond memories of Sesame Street, the musical sees college graduate Princeton move to New York looking for a job, love and all the rest. Sadly, the only flat he can afford is way out in the puppet neighbourhood of Avenue Q. Packed with brilliant and irreverent songs, on-the-nose jokes and, yes, completely nude puppets, this long-running Broadway hit is a trashy treasure.

+ ONLINE \ WATCH AVENUE A Q SIZZLE REEL EDWARD II Christopher Marlowe’s tale of a failed monarch is given a 21st-century makeover in this bold reinvention by Australian playwright Anthony Weigh. Gone is the Elizabethan language and dress, replaced by leather jackets, skinny jeans and plain-spoken profanity. When Edward (Johnny Carr) falls in love with a man and refuses to keep it quiet, it costs him his kingdom. Given the looming plebiscite, it feels rather topical. Audiences are warned to expect sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.

Jason Bourne and every Spandex superhero now employs its breakneck, acrobatic approach to swinging across rooftops.

This family-friendly production, direct from the diverse Sydney suburb of Fairfield, shows how the discipline has also transformed the lives of disadvantaged youth. The parkour mindset doesn’t avoid obstacles so much as use them as a stepping stone. Here, big ideas are tackled through a blend of physical feats and contemporary dance.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS Break out the Stolly Bollies, the terrible twosome are back. More than 20 years after Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) first staggered on to the small screen, they’ve finally gatecrashed the cinema. The world may have changed, but our fashionistas haven’t noticed. Eddie is still running her PR business into the ground and Pats remains pickled on cigs, vodka and Botox. A crisis involving Kate Moss sees them forced to go on the run and hijinks ensue, spiced with a celebrity cameo or three.

There are echoes of The Slap in the set-up of this new page-turner from one of Australia’s biggest-selling authors. A suburban barbecue proves life-changing for three couples, notably Clementine and Sam, whose marriage is already mired in a rough patch. Of course, Moriarty keeps the details under wraps for the first half of the book while tantalising us with glimpses and spiking each chapter with a cliffhanger ending. ● HEAR

Let’s get the Florence + The Machine comparisons out of the way. Sydney’s Jessica Cerro (aka Montaigne) does have a similarly kooky, histrionic vocal style, delivering bold pop songs that charge on heart-first and headlong.

Where do you go for serious pampering?

My shows are emotionally draining, so I rebuild protein stores by buying brilliant, home-made sausages from Newmarket or free-range pork from Fancy Meats.

For a sneaky takeaway?

I drop into Newmarket Cellars for a sneaky takeaway of the absolutely finest spumante.

For brushing out the cobwebs?

Canning Reserve in Avondale Heights.

Most Melburnians have absolutely no idea of this hidden suburban wilderness.

For a head-turning new outfit?

There’s a wonderful exclusive boutique called Parish Bargain Shop. They stock top-end fashions that suit my refined tastes.

For a big night out?

I like to sneak past queues at Laksa King and head to the more low-key Pho House or Flemington Kebab, or if I’m really going undercover it’s the Corner for fish and chips.

For a serious workout?

My fans and wardrobe assistants expect a lot. I have to maintain a fashionably slim waistline at Aligned for Life Pilates. ● SUE HEWITT » swinginmelbourne.com.au » www.bsharpbigband.com.au

ne of the things that most impressed me O about Hyundai’s luxury car, the Genesis, was the balance achieved between ride and handling.

here are two Elantra models: the base Active, at T $24,694 in manual or $27,071 in auto, and the Elite, just shy of $30k. If you can manage it, go for the

Elite; the interior is noticeably nicer with richer, more tactile surfaces and an ambience that says quality.

For all of that, the Active has everything you need.

It surprised me that there is no navigation option.

Hyundai instead asks you to plug in your iPhone and use its mapping, with the map and directions coming up on the in-built centre screen. This is fine only as long as you have phone range.

Otherwise this is a terrific car. The seating is comfortable and supportive, and it’s easy to find the right driving position. But I didn’t like the forward posture of the head restraints, which can’t be tilted back. The dash layout is simple and clear and I liked the generous leg room up front. It’s still pretty good in the back too, but headroom will be an issue here with taller passengers. ●

But then a Genesis costs $65k. The surprise is that Hyundai has achieved that same balancing act with the far more price-friendly Elantra.

It corners fast and flat without skipping, it’s predictable and solid. And it’s not just the ride/ handling equation, it has beautifully weighted steering and a nicely taut chassis.

When you feel like taking it gently you’ll note the interior is quiet and the fuel economy is pretty good, despite a willing motor and a well-matched six-speed auto that changes down when it should, rather than when it will use the least amount of fuel. It’s brisk away from the lights and it overtakes swiftly.

Among all the sedans between $20k and $30k, this provides about the best driving experience you’ll find, along with heaps of practicality. ●

BEAUTIFUL ROOF GARDEN

f beauty is a promise of happiness, as articulated by philosopher Alain de Botton in The Architecture of Happiness, then the future occupants of South Yarra’s six-star Capitol Grand have decades of pleasure ahead.

The $800-million project will undoubtedly feature some of Melbourne’s most stunning and emblematic architecture in its twin sculpted towers and elevated gardens. But the beauty in this case goes far further than skin deep – Capitol Grand’s architects have also captured the essential ingredients for a happier, less stressful life: views, abundant natural light, a garden sanctuary, convenience, connectivity and diversity.

Capitol Grand is in one of Melbourne’s most prominent and privileged locations – at the crossroads of Toorak Road and Chapel Street, four kilometres from the CBD. At 180 metres, the taller LK Tower will be the highest building in South Yarra and the tallest landmark building outside the CBD. It will have spectacular vistas across Melbourne, taking in the Yarra River, Albert Park Lake, Port Phillip Bay, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the city and the Dandenong Ranges.

Capitol Grand’s design, by internationally renowned architects Bates Smart, begins with a three-level luxury retail arcade where high-end global brands sit alongside international trendsetters and include a world-class restaurant. Two sculptural towers rising above house a sophisticated collection of residences. Set back from Toorak Road, two intertwining elliptical forms rise up and taper as LK Tower soars towards its breathtaking summit. Below, the balcony-wrapped 50-storey Capitol Grand Tower showcases sculpted curves.

and Switzerland, where his work included projects at the Tate Modern art museum and the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

He says Capitol Grand is a one-of-a-kind building and a precious opportunity for people looking for a more connected, convenient and less stressful lifestyle.

“What is exciting about this project is the amount of diversity within one development.

It will provide significant opportunity for people from different parts of the community to buy into it. Apartments start from $600,000, with access to amenities

including the 24-hour concierge service,” he says. “There’s a very beautiful roof garden surrounded by rich and resplendent amenity – pool, gym, dining and lounge areas – that spill out into the garden. The garden is the epicentre of Capitol Grand and many apartments will have garden outlooks and some will have direct access.”

The LK Tower balconies expand as the building steps back to form terraces that are essentially gardens in the sky. On level 33, apartments of 140 and 137 square metres have 122-square-metre garden terraces.

“The garden, with wide-ranging amenities and hospitality and retail below, will make living at Capitol Grand extremely convenient and relaxing,” Kristen says. “It takes care of all of your needs in one go.”

He says there are a lot of slender-line shallow apartment layouts, allowing more natural light and outlooks than traditional layouts. These slender-line units have expansive terraces of up to 60 square metres, comparable to their internal living area.

To further extend light and views and add flexibility, many apartments have retractable sliding doors between bedrooms and living areas.

Bates Smart has given Capitol Grand multi-tiered social spaces, from the protected, private space of apartments to intimate spaces where residents can spend time with friends and family and larger-scale spaces where they can connect to the Capitol Grand community.

“This diversity of social spaces meets our intrinsic needs as human beings – it will feel natural and promote a happier way of life,” Kristen says. “We have added hotel-style services and conveniences, so not only will residents feel connected but they can also feel cared-for and free from mundane chores.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au AUGUST 3, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 19

WE LOVE IT

I

f not the cobbled bluestone or the original wooden fence line, the street name hints at Kensington’s former existence as one of Melbourne’s pre-eminent cattle yards. It might be hard to imagine, but drovers once traipsed down the historic route herding their bellowing beasts. Today it is one of the suburb’s most notable, not to mention tightly held, streets.

After the stockyards closed in 1985, Kensington began to change and real estate was among the biggest movers. The old stockyards became the site of new housing stock.

Surviving warehouses and abandoned factories now provide the foundations for the artsy, urban-chic vibe that has put Kensington on the map.

The eastern side of Stockmans Way is comprised of houses, but the stretch opposite No.33 is a tree-lined walking track that meanders along to the Maribyrnong River.

History boards along the way tell the story of the area’s colourful past.

Built in 2012, this smart, two-storey house with neat front garden is an all-rounder. Every room in the spacious building is made to suit the needs of a growing family. There are places to gather, rooms to be separate if needed, a rooftop terrace to get away from it all, two outdoor living areas and excellent storage.

First port of call after entering is the formal living and dining area with gas log fireplace. The dining area opens to a patio with water feature.

Past the downstairs bathroom and laundry is the open-plan living zone, kitchen and meals area. The dark-grey feature wall in the living area, a design element repeated throughout the house, blends with the dark tones of the kitchen cabinetry while providing continuity. In the kitchen, white cabinetry and a stone waterfall island bench contrast with timber cabinets and floorboards. Stainless-steel appliances include a 900-millimetre Viking dual-fuel cooker and an integrated Miele coffee machine.

A large, square window in the casual meals area overlooks the deck. Glass sliding doors connect the living area to the deck, which is bordered by mature plants. With its barbecue and space for an outdoor setting and sun lounges, this space could be a cherished sun trap.

A wide, gently curved timber staircase with stainless-steel balustrade leads upstairs from the mid-point of the ground floor. The main suite at the front of the house gives owners a taste of hotel-style luxury. It has a spacious walk-in wardrobe and marble en suite with a mirrored wall, spa bath and double basin set in a timber floating vanity. A built-in sound system and television in the en suite are modern-day luxuries unheard of in the Kensington of old.

At the end of the hall are two more bedrooms.

A staircase from the first-floor landing leads to a retreat with kitchenette and wet bar. A bank of bifold doors opens the retreat to a terrace that is large enough for an outdoor setting. This level also has a powder room and access to two roof storage spaces.

Close to Flemington Racecourse and trendy Kensington cafes, this house is within 500 metres of Kensington Primary School and Kensington Community High School. ● EMILY COLLIN property@theweeklyreview.com.au

The silence is surprising in this brick period house given its inner-city location. It’s less than a minute’s walk from Mount Alexander Road trams or Ormond Road buses and close to CityLink. The Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and Travancore Park are nearby, as are cafes and shops. This freestanding, single-fronted Victorian house is renovated and has retained period touches such as an arch with corbels in the side hall, high ceilings with rosettes throughout and polished Baltic pine floors. There are separate lounge and dining rooms and an updated kitchen that, like the rest of the house, relies on a white palette. Two large, carpeted bedrooms have period fireplaces with built-in wardrobes either side while a tiled bathroom has a shower over the bath.

There’s ducted heating and cooling and attic storage. Outside is an undercover deck, shed and garden with the potential of parking from a rear lane. Next door, a first-floor extension shows the potential to add more bedrooms. ● SUE HEWITT

Ideal for a growing brood because of its size inside and out, this house is in a prized location. It is around the corner from the McNamara Avenue shopping village and handy to Keilor Road, where there are multiple public transport, shopping and dining options. The house has four bedrooms – the main with sliding glass doors to the outdoors and to an adjoining nursery/bedroom.

St Christopher’s Primary School is a few doors away, and there are also secondary colleges and kindergartens nearby. The renovated, cream-brick house has open and airy spaces, such as the spacious front lounge with a small wall separating it from a hallway. The contemporary kitchen will keep the chef happy with stone benchtops, soft-close drawers and European appliances.

There’s a dining room and glass doors to a sizeable undercover, north-facing deck and garage.

The central bathroom is renovated and includes a Euro laundry. There’s room to move outside on the block of almost 600 square metres. ● SUE HEWITT

A registered domestic animal business may use its Council business registration number as an alternative.
