Bernadette Wallace

Selected for Tokyo to paddle my 35cm wide boat on one knee, on one side, with no rudder as fast as I can 😝💪💨 Let’s do this!

#Currumbin Olympian Bernadette Wallace is heading to the Tokyo Games, competing in a new discipline for women.

She'll become a trailblazer in the canoe sprint event- and she's also kicked melanoma to the curb!

@9NewsGoldCoast @dloudon9 Thanks for sharing my story and sport 💚💛🛶

[Ekaitz Saies @Ekaitzsaies]

Oftentimes I read athletes and coaches say things like the game is 10% physical and 90% mental.

When I’m asked about it, I always say that sport performance is 100% physical and 100% mental.

More than once, people replied:

You mean 50/50?

To which I respond: I mean 100/100.

Earlier today, @BerniWallace spent some time talking to students at Birdwood Primary School as part of the Olympics Unleashed program. Delivered in a virtual format, the SASI Canoe Sprint athlete spoke about how she sets goals & overcomes challenges as an elite athlete.

@7NewsAdelaide @Olympics @LucasRinaldo7 @7olympics Thanks for sharing our journey, appreciated! Especially the week that should have been #Tokyo2020 💪👯‍♀️🇦🇺

[7NEWS Adelaide @7NewsAdelaide]

It should have been day 12 of the Tokyo @Olympics and canoeists @BerniWallace and South Aussie Josephine Bulmer were scheduled to be competing this weekend. But the 12-month delay is not the only hurdle the pair has overcome on their Olympic journey. @lucasrinaldo7 @7olympics
