In season one's bonus episode of Behind the Podium, Daniel and Ella speak to Australian rugby sevens player Sharni Williams. The Rio gold medallist and co-captain of the squad that finished 5th in Tokyo speaks candidly about the pressures facing athletes during the pandemic, explains how the team used TikTok to bond, and opens up about the pubic statement she made at this Games on behalf of the LGBTQI+ community - and how she made history doing so.
