Having already represented Australia at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, she continues to push the boundaries of Australian sport — all while partially self-funding her journey in one of the world’s most demanding disciplines.
Tune in as we dive into the grit, mindset, and passion behind Sarah’s rise — and how she’s taking Australian bobsleigh to the next level, one icy run at a time.
