Australian Story - 18x14 Know Thy Enemy - Part 1

This week's program is about a woman who provided some of Australia's most memorable moments at the last Olympics.

Anna Meares, the unflinching 'coalminer's daughter' from Central Queensland, has dominated cycling for nearly a decade.

The story of her triumphant return to the track after a catastrophic accident has been well documented.

What is less well known is the detail of the psychological struggles she navigated on the road to the London Olympics.

Her ascendancy in her sport came at some cost to personal and family relationships. As a consequence of Anna's rise, her sister's dreams were crushed.

And then there were her famous on and off track battles with the British favourite Victoria Pendleton which soon became the stuff of tabloid legend.

From the UK, Pendleton provides candid new insights into the intense rivalry with Meares.

And for the first time, Anna Meares reveals her own inside story.
