Shreeve Loves Her Windsurfing
- Allison Shreeve (born 5 February 1982) is an Australian Olympic athlete who was the Formula World Windsurfing Champion in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In November 2005, Shreeve set a new world speed sailing record (A class) at 27.7 Knots (51.3 km/h) at Saintes Maries de la Mer Speed Canal. She topped this with a record of 33.05 (61.2 km/h) knots at Fuerteventura in late July, 2006. History In her younger years, Allison was home schooled and grew up in a rural property. After finishing high school at Port Macquarie High, she was accepted into Sydney University to study Civil and Structural Engineering, which had her move back to Sydney. In 1998, during Port Macquarie High School's summer program, Allison chose windsurfing, despite she had a promising and successful future in track and field athletics after securing many titles and records at local zone, regional, and state levels. Mark Jordan saw potential in Shreeve and coached her for free, helping her go on to win the Australian Youth Champion title several times. Media attention In the last few years, Allison Shreeve attracted reasonable attention for her success in the sport. Many newspapers came out empathizing with her, because, as many claimed, she had the looks, she had the medals to prove it, and she had the personality, yet she was not able to find a financial sponsor. Because of a lack of a sponsor, she had been forced to sleep in her car. An underlying reason is that windsurfing is very small in Australia. In 2006, Allison Shreeve was featured on the American TV channel Nickelodeon showcasing her gear and telling the audience what windsurfing is like. Shreeve was featured in Who magazine, which reported her eating habits and how she keeps fit. She told Who that she had a 50-minute run, injury-prevention gym exercises, and 500 sit-ups per day. As for diet, she says she chooses salads, steak, vegetables, and occasional chocolate. She also advised people not to eat after 7 PM – three hours before you go to bed. She was featured in a full-length interview on Life FM. Initially however, because she was low profiled, she was ignored. She was sent many support messages through Life FM.

Alicia Coutts Olympic Swimmer talking Heroines, Work and Sport
- Alicia Coutts spills the beans on the difficulties of juggling life and sport. ABOUT ALICIA Brisbane born Alicia Coutts (known to her friends as Couttsie) attended the 2010 Commonwealth Games with little to no expectations on her performance, but the swimmer left as Australia’s most successful individual performer with five gold medals, emerging as a world force in swimming, and one to be watched at future meets. The 23 year old won gold in the 200m individual medley, 100m freestyle and 100m butterfly and was a key member of Australia’s gold medal relay team in the 4 x 100m freestyle and 4 x 100m medley relay. Recording the fastest time ever in a textile suit in the 200m individual medley Alicia was chosen to carry the Australian flag at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony. Prior to the Delhi Games, life hadn’t been easy for Alicia she had excelled in her junior career, but a bout of glandular fever stifled her ambitions to qualify for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games. In 2007 she joined the Australian Institute of Sport but was again struck down with an intussusceptions of the bowel which required surgery. She recovered to qualify for her first Olympic team in Beijing in 2008, where she finished 5th in the final, performing well above her ranking. As things started to look better complications from Alicia’s original operation forced her to have further abdominal surgery and miss the chance to compete at last year’s world titles. Finally in 2010 Alicia had an injury free year and the results followed. As well as recording a personal best time in the 100m freestyle, 200 IM and 100m Butterfly in Delhi, Alicia also posted 3 short course PB’s in the 100/200m freestyle as well as the 100m butterfly. All of Alicia’s struggles are now well and truly behind her for a new star is born, one that has her sight’s firmly set on the London Olympics in 2012. ACHIEVEMENTS Personal Best Times – Long Course (50m Pool) 2008 Beijing Olympics – 200m IM 2010 Pan Pacs - 100m Freestyle 2010 Pan Pacs - 100m Butterfly Personal Best Times – Short Course (25m Pool) 2009 Aust Short Course Championships - 200m IM 2009 Aust Short Course Championships - 100m Freestyle Career Highlights 2008 Beijing Olympics - 4 x 100m Medley Relay GOLD 2009 Telstra Aust Short Course Championships - 200m IM BRONZE 2010 Pan Pacs 100m Butterfly BRONZE 2010 Pan Pacs – Irvine, California - 4 x 100m Freestyle & Medley SILVER 2010 Pan Pacs – Irvine, California - 100m Butterfly BRONZE 2010 Telstra Aust Championships - 200m IM BRONZE Nominated for the Colonial First State Sports Performer of the Year Award Alicia’s personal best times have previously been recorded in 2009 at the Australian Short Course Championships in the 200m IM and 100m Free and more recently in 2010 in the Pan Pacs 100m Butterfly and 100m Freestyle. Alicia tells us her reasoning for getting into swimming started at the tender age of 18mths old when all she wanted to do was swim in her next door neighbour’s pool. Since then success has played a major part in Alicia’s career, as a natural athlete with the tenacity and drive to be the best she has not only exceeded expectations to date but is set to accomplish big things in the future.
