As a two-time Olympian, two-time World Champion and four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Jana Pittman dominated athletics throughout the 2000's. In 2014 Jana swapped the athletics track for the bobsleigh track to become the first Australian woman to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. But her career was also plagued with injury and unrelenting criticism from the media. Jana joins host Sam Squiers to discuss the tag of "Drama Jana" which followed Jana throughout her career, the fictional rivalry between Jana and teammate Tamsyn Lewis (now Manou), returning to athletics after the birth of her first kid and transitioning to life as a doctor.
