Stephanie Rice won three Gold Medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in the 200m medley, 400m medley and the 4x200m freestyle relay. In 2009, Stephanie was awarded the Medal of Australia and in 2019 inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame and inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.

From a very young age Stephanie knew she wanted to be a swimmer, then at eight years old, after watching Susie ‘O’Neill win the 200 Butterfly at the 1996 Atlanta Games, she decided she too wanted to become an Olympian.

The talented swimmer first caught Australia’s attention in 2006, when at 17 years of age, she won gold in the 200 and 400 Individual Medley at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games. She then went on to become one of Australia’s greatest ever Olympians, winning three Gold Medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, all in world record breaking time.

Stephanie announced her retirement from the sport in 2014 at the age of 24. She then went on to win the high rating Australian TV show ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ that same year, making her the youngest winner of the show worldwide.

Stephanie hasn’t stopped dreaming big and working hard to make her dreams a reality. The entrepreneur has co- authored her own book ‘The Art of Wellness,’ launched her first food business, RACERiCE, is an ambassador for a number of well-known international brands and is also working on business ventures in India, China and the United States.
