Leisel Jones is rightly regarded as one of the greatest
breaststrokers ever. At just fifteen, she won two silver medals at
the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000; she went on to win gold at Athens
and Beijing, and at London 2012 became the first Australian swimmer
to compete at four Olympics. For the first time, Leisel candidly
describes what it's like to be thrust into the limelight so young.
She reveals the constant pressure she was under - from coaches,
from the media and from herself - to be perfect. Despite the highs
of her swimming stardom, she suffered depression, and at one time
planned to take her own life. In London, criticised in the media
for her weight, and appalled by the bulling and dysfunction in the
Australian swim team, Leisel nevertheless handled herself with
great composure. She has emerged with maturity and good humour,
having finally learnt how to be herself and live with confidence.
Body Lengths is the inspiring story of an Australian sporting hero,
told with humour, optimism and style.
