Anna Meares is one of Australia's most successful athletes. She was the first Australian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in track cycling and the only Australian to win a medal in an individual event at four Olympic Games. Her career is marked by dramatic highs and lows, both on and off the track. She speaks to Newcastle Writers Festival director Rosemarie Milsom about her new book Anna Meares: Now, which is an account of her life as an elite athlete as well as how she has managed to find peace after retirement.
