“I would say focus on the fun. I stopped having fun because I wanted to win. And it’s not about that.” For Tom Stone, some of his strongest memories of athletics aren’t about results, they’re about running barefoot in the backyard, building a high jump with his brother and simply enjoying the sport. In ‘When I Was Their Age’, Tom reflects on growing up around athletics, losing confidence as a young athlete and eventually finding his way back to the sport through decathlon. ‘When I Was Their Age’, part of the Under the Surface series powered by Rio Tinto, revisits the experiences that shaped Australian athletes and their relationship with sport. #UnderTheSurface #WhenIWasTheirAge #AthleticsNation #RioTinto #TomStone
