Grown for gold

How can Australia produce such world-class athletes? It all comes back to our produce.

Australia has topped the Commonwealth Games medal tally 12 of the 20 times the games have been on. We’ve been in the top three counties every time bar one; the first one. Yet we rank 14th in terms of population of the countries that compete. Per capita, there’s no country that comes close to our sporting ability.

Some particular regions seem to regularly produce great talent. So what’s the secret? How or why do certain areas grow these incredible athletes that represent Australia? It's probably no coincidence that some of Woolworths' best produce comes from these regions too.

Five months in production, the documentary-style films were directed by Paul Goldman with a stunning original composition by Ramesh Sathiah at Song Zu. Stills photography by Michael Corridore.
