FASTFACT

Both of Tamsyn Lewis’s parents represented Australia in sport. Her mother, Carolyn [nee Wright] won 17 national medals – including seven high jump titles – and she represented Australia at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth. Her father, Greg, won 18 national medals and he represented Australia as a sprinter at Olympics and Commonwealth Games level. Her brother – and current coach – Justin blessed with his parents competitive genes.
She is one of Australian Athletics most popular competitors, and Tamsyn showed her footwork is not restricted to the running track when she finished a credible third in television’s Dancing with the Stars. Tamsyn and her partner Graham Manou, an Australian Test cricketer, recently announced their engagement.
