Publisher's Synopsis

As if it wasn't enough to be two times World Champion and four times Commonwealth Champion in the sport of athletics, in 2014 at the Sochi Winter Olympics Jana Pittman swapped the track for the ice, joining the Australian Women's bobsleigh team to become the first woman to represent Australia in both a Summer and Winter Olympic Games.Jana should be a household name for her incredible sporting achievements, but during the course of her extraordinary career it was often her personal life which played out in the media with stories about her marriage, divorce, breast augmentation, re-marriage and break-up, alongside constant references to her 'feud' with fellow sprinter, Tamsyn Lewis.Now, for the first time Jana will tell her own story, so that Australians can get to know the extraordinarily intelligent, focused and accomplished athlete, writer, mother and soon to be doctor who lies behind the sensationalism of the media headlines.
