Magic Millions to invest in grassroots talent ahead of Brisbane 2032 Olympics

The first Magic Millions Off the Track Showjumping in Queensland is investing in para-athletes ahead of the Brisbane Olympics in 2032.

Sky News Australia reporter Holly Edwards-Smith spoke with para-athlete Sian Glanney, who has travelled from Western Australia to compete in horseriding and showjumping.

Despite Paris 2024 being only six months away, athletes like Ms Glanney are set on working themselves a pathway to the Brisbane 2032 games.

“Stepping out of those grassroots into more states and nationals – it is a big leap, so having more support around that and the para-athletes and helping them realise those dreams are achievable would be absolutely fantastic,” she told Sky News Australia.
