Anna Meares OAM is considered by many to be Australia’s most accomplished cyclist and one of our greatest athletes of all time.

During her 15-year career as an elite athlete, Anna collected an incredible 18 gold medals, 13 silver medals, and 16 bronze medals at Olympic, World, and Commonwealth Games level across the 500m Time Trial, Keirin, Sprint, and Team Sprint events. Her career was one of many highs, lows, determination, grit, hard work, and dedication.

After 22 years involved in the sport, Anna retired as the most decorated female athlete in the world with 11 world titles. Of her 41 career medals, she achieved 26 following her near-career ending injury.

Anna was appointed Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, leading the team to their most successful Olympics ever. In November 2024, it was announced Anna would continue her role as Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

An accomplished and truly inspirational speaker, Anna speaks of sportsmanship, accountability, authenticity, success, and the power of the mind over the body.

What people say about Anna

Anna was brilliant, she was warm, professional, engaging, motivating, emotional, genuine and funny. Anna had the room captured, she ran over time but that was absolutely fine because guests were loving her. Anna exceeded my expectations. We have received so many comments from guests. Anna worked the room talking to the guests at pre-dinner drinks and around the boardroom table (50 people). Anna met with me before to view the room, talk through the event and personally sign her book, which each guest received.

Anna was such a lovely person, and had a wonderful story of sheer determination that moved us all.

– Enterprise & Training Company Limited

Anna has just delivered a keynote address to our annual Professionals Congress in Perth. Her presentation was outstanding and received rave reviews from our attendees. It was on topic, well delivered and inspirational. It was easy to see that Anna’s professional approach to cycling has flowed through to her speaking. She was a pleasure to work with in the lead-in to the congress and generous with her time afterwards for photos. Another gold medal performance!
