Athletics coach Danny Kevan was another of the Gen32 cohort in Paris, looking after his two Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) athletes Ella Pardy and Rhiannon Clarke, as well as working with Paralympic debutant and bronze medallist Mali Lovell.

It was a successful Games for both his sprinters, with Pardy running a season-best in the 100m heats, while Clarke ran two personal-best times in the space of seven hours to finish just 0.19s off the podium in the final.

Kevan said the past two years working with the AIS and WAIS have been transformative.

“The Gen32 Program has been an amazing stepping stone,” he said.

“It’s allowed me to experience full time coaching within the national system and exposed me to some of the best coaches in Australia and the world.”
