Jason Levi and Andrew Goodman are from different states, but they have one very special thing in common — both are watching not one but two of their children representing Australia on the world stage.
The 2024 Australian Olympic team boasts six sets of siblings across rugby, canoe slalom, canoe sprint, golf, water polo, rowing and triathlon."Dad, are you driving? Pull over," they said.Growing up, it was the younger sister that dominated the sporting arena."We used to say, 'Don't cry if you don't make it — walk to the car, show that you're proud, and then you can cry,'" Jason said.
South Australians Molly and Tom Goodman are the first siblings to be selected for the Olympics and the Paralympics."We're not quite sure where the genetics come from actually … we weren't sporty and we weren't pushy parents," he said.Andrew said his kids are competitive and have inspired one another.Despite only taking up the sport this year, Tom has made the Paris Paralympics for the first time in triathlon.
