What does it mean to represent Australia at the Games
It's such and incredible feeling to be representing Australia.
What are you most excited about for the Games
I'm excited for the whole experience, to see so many sports and meet people from around the world that are the best at what they do is pretty cool.
Favourite place to sail in the world
Tough question, there are so many pretty places in Australia and the world. I think Lake Garda might top my list for scenery, and Mauritius or around my home in North Queensland for pretty water and nice session.
Favourite place to sail in Australia
Too many really nice spots. I like kiting at home in Townsville, it's sunny, warm and always have some wind. But there are so many amazing spots around the whole coast! I can't pick one.
Favourite conditions to sail in and why
Warm, sunny, on a 15m kite in a seabreeze. These are the sessions I enjoy the most.
What's the most interesting part about the Olympic venue
The venue is really tricky sailing. The conditions change quickly and a different direction almost every day. There's a lot happening but I think it's going to look pretty amazing with everyone racing and the backdrop of the French city behind.
What result are you most proud of
I think my most recent result at this year's 2024 World Championships. I raced in some of the most fun, and close racing to date.
