The announcement of Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic bid emerging as the frontrunner has inspired young athletes around the country.

11-year-old Mia Guillergan made history last September, breaking the world record for the 5000 metre race for her age.

“She might turn around at 13 and say she’d had enough of running.”
