GC2018 Commonwealth Games 1 Year To Go

  • April 4, 2017

Jess named GC2018 Sport Ambassador For Cycling!

Can you believe it?! We are officially under ONE YEAR until the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast or as you will see around the news, GC2018. It’s such an exciting time, I cannot believe that I will finally have the opportunity to compete on home soil at a major championship giving all of my friends and family the chance to see me in action!

The 1YTG celebration also coincided with another special announcement. I have been chosen as a GC2018 sport ambassador for Cycling! I was completely blown away to be asked by Cycling Australia and GOLDOC to fulfil this role and help spread the love for my sport!

My first official sport ambassador duty was to head up to the Goldie to help celebrate not only the 1 year to go mark but also the release of the official competition schedule along with the official ticketing guide!

The countdown is now on with spectators being able to start planning their experience by viewing the Official GC2018 Ticketing Guide which is available online at www.gc2018.com/tickets.

There’s no need to fret just yet, the ticketing phase doesn’t open until April 24 so there’s still PLENTY of time to get your head around the largest event schedule in Commonwealth Games history, boasting the largest medal event program and the most number of sessions comprising 18 sports and 7 Para sports. That’s over 6,600 athletes!

The excitement is building and I can’t wait to share the next 12 months with everyone!

Last year during lockdown I passed the 10 year ann Last year during lockdown I passed the 10 year anniversary of being a @visionaustralia ambassador. An organisation I'm incredibly passionate about after receing support from them as a 17 year old recently diagnosed as legally blind. There is no overstating the fact that their support is life changing for so many & it's a privilege for me to be able to support others living life with low vision & blindness. Thanks to Ron & the team for my plaque & here's to the next 10 years! (well 9 now 😂)
It's food tour day! Obviously I'm joining in with It's food tour day! Obviously I'm joining in with @marco_loris tour because well... food & Melbourne is a WINNING combo! Let's go eat!!! And ride. 😜

It's time to eDiscover Melbourne with #Rapha, #Bos It's time to eDiscover Melbourne with #Rapha, #Bosch eBike Systems, #Lug&Carrie ..and me. 😀

We have created curated eBike tours that celebrate what #Melbourne is most famous for - sport, food, coffee, while being immersed in its cultural diversity. 

I'm beyond excited to partner with @boschebikesystems  @boschaustralia @lugandcarrie and @rapha_australia. We are offering the community the opportunity to feel the flow of the city with an exciting guided eBike tour experience. I will be hosting the Sport eBike tour & @marco_lori  hosting the food tour! 

Unfortunatrly the tours sold out within a couple of hours  BUT the tours will be available as self guided tours so everyone can cruise our beautiful city! 

I've been OBSESSED with my ebike & zipping around on it. It's such a fun way to get around & the perfect way to see the city (& go up hills 🤣) If you're looking for a fun day out this is the perfect activity!

It's hard to put into words just how special last It's hard to put into words just how special last night was. ❤

It still feels like a dream that my story inspired a writer & director from the #MelbourneWritersTheatre to create a play, especially as a big fan of theatre. 

The Best. The Fairest. The First shared the stories of inspiring Aussie sportswoman from the first women to compete in Swimming at the Olympics in 1912 Fanny Durack & Mina Wylie, cricket legend Betty Wilson in the 1950's, marathon runner Sinbad Diver & myself. Each with such unique stories yet so many themes threading the stories together. It was very surreal seeing my story come to life at @gasworksartspark

Last nights closing show was hugely emotional as I sat on stage post show for a Q&A getting to speak about the power of our Aussie sportswoman & the sharing of their incredible stories. So many stories people need to hear.

I can't wait to receive some photos of the evening & share some particularly special moments we had but for now hear is one of writer Clare & I deep in conversation reflecting on the creation of the show.
