Dr Jana Pittman: Sprinting, sliding and saving lives

When Jana Pittman鈥檚 hurdling career ended, she came back to compete on the ice - while also training to become a doctor.

Jana Pittman was a world champion hurdler, but injury halted her Olympic dreams. She came back to compete on the ice, and became Australia's first Summer and Winter Olympian when she joined the country's bobsleigh team. She鈥檚 also a medical doctor, a mother-of-six and an advocate for women's health.
