All the Right Moves: Kieren Perkins , Part 2

Australian Story Season 19 Episode 17

Overview:
Introduced by Grant Hackett

Monday’s program concludes the epic tale of Kieren Perkins and the inside story of his battles to build a new life away from the sport that had dictated his every move since childhood.

The program reveals new detail of the ‘nation stopping’ day in July 1996 when Perkins swam his way to a gold medal in the 1500 after being all but written off when he qualified last in the heats.

Kieren Perkins, now aged forty, is credited with largely avoiding the tabloid catastrophes that have bedevilled so many of his contemporaries.

But in this week’s candid conclusion he discloses some of his own struggles and introduces his new partner, fellow banking executive Karen Davis.

She is credited with bringing new happiness into his life not least, according to Perkins, because she knows him only as a banker, not a swimming hero...
