“What I would like is that we set the tone or we were some of the tone setters for future generations.” Australian sprinting is building momentum, and Jai Gordon wants his generation to help drive what comes next. In ‘When I Was Their Age’, Jai reflects on his own unexpected journey into athletics, the importance of enjoying sport from a young age and his hope that today’s sprinters can help set a new benchmark for the generations that follow. From once rarely progressing beyond the school athletics carnival to now seeing Australia gain recognition as a sprinting nation, Jai’s story is one of perspective, progression and possibility. ‘When I Was Their Age’, part of the Under the Surface series powered by Rio Tinto, revisits the experiences that shaped Australian athletes and what they hope to pass on to the next generation. #UnderTheSurface #WhenIWasTheirAge #AthleticsNation #RioTinto #JaiGordon
