The sporting moment. The story behind it.
Sports presenter, broadcaster & interview host.
I know what it feels like to step onto the world stage. I also know there’s always more to the story than the result.
I’m Leisel Jones, currently a co-host on Triple M Gold Breakfast, as well as an Olympic champion and sports presenter. I bring an athlete’s perspective, a broadcaster’s curiosity and my own sense of humour to conversations on screen, on air and in front of a crowd.
For sports presenting, athlete interviews, match day content and Q&A panels, I’m available for opportunities on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, across Northern NSW and Australia-wide.
From answering the questions to asking them.
Competing at four Olympic Games gave me an understanding of sport that goes well beyond what happens on race day.
The preparation. The expectations. The joy of getting it right and the challenge of finding words when you haven’t.
My broadcasting career has given me the opportunity to explore those experiences from a different side of the microphone.
I’ve hosted Network Ten’s coverage of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, hosted the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships and conducted pool deck interviews at the Australian Swimming Championships.
I also provided expert swimming commentary for Seven’s Tokyo Olympics coverage, alongside my work in radio and television.
Through it all, my favourite part has been the connection. Finding a good story, asking the next question and helping an audience feel part of the conversation.
Bringing people closer to sport.
Sports presenting & digital content
Sport gives us extraordinary moments. The way we share them helps people understand why they matter.
I bring personality, sporting insight and a conversational approach to presenting, whether I’m introducing a segment, speaking with an athlete or exploring a story beyond the scoreboard.
For broadcasters, clubs and sporting organisations, I’m available for presenting opportunities that connect with established fans and welcome new ones.

Match day interviews & fan engagement
There’s something special about a crowd coming together to support its team.
I’d love to help sporting clubs bring that energy to their match day coverage, with interviews and content that make supporters feel closer to the people behind the colours.
From player conversations and member features to sponsor interviews and live crosses, I bring enthusiasm, curiosity and an understanding of the pressures athletes face.
My focus is on finding the moments that feel natural, relevant and worth watching.
Available for match day presenting, player interviews, supporter stories and club content on the Gold Coast and beyond.
Ask well. Listen closely.
Athlete interviews & conversations
A thoughtful interview gives someone room to be themselves.
Having spent years answering questions after races, I understand that the person holding the microphone can make a real difference.
I bring preparation and empathy to each conversation, with the confidence to follow an interesting answer and the judgement to recognise when a moment needs care.
We might talk about a career-defining performance, a difficult setback or the everyday routines that fans never see.
There’s room for insight, reflection and a laugh along the way.
Different voices. A conversation worth hearing.
Q&A panels & in-conversation hosting
A good panel gives every guest a chance to contribute and gives the audience a reason to stay involved.
As a host, I help guide the discussion, draw out different perspectives and keep the conversation connected to the purpose of your event.
Sport is a natural starting point, alongside themes I’ve experienced personally, including performance, resilience, confidence, body image and life after a major career change.
Whether it’s a one-on-one conversation or a panel of different voices, I bring warmth, thoughtful questions and a willingness to explore beyond the obvious.
Available for:
- Sporting panels and industry discussions
- Corporate in-conversation events
- Athlete and personality Q&As
- Community and charity events
- Audience question sessions
