Jana Pittman

Jana Pittman is a celebrated athlete who was the first woman to represent Australia in both a Summer (2000, 2004) and Winter (2014) Olympic Games – when continual injuries hampered her athletic career and could have signalled retirement, she swapped the track for the ice, joining the Australian women’s bobsled team. Off the track, Jana completed a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at Western Sydney University in 2019, graduating with First Class Honours and the university medal, and is now a Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She also completed a Masters of Reproductive Medicine at the University of New South Wales in 2020. Jana has written two books – ‘Just Another Hurdle’ and ‘Enough’ – was a participant in the gruelling television show SAS Australia, has been a participant on the Amazing Race Australia and is an ambassador for the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation. She is also a proud mum to six children.
