Champion US sprinter Michael Johnson this morning ran a coaching session with Australia's latest running star over the superfast National Broadband Network.
Johnson, in Melbourne, joined Andrew Robinson, the first Tasmanian in 70 years to win the Stawell Gift, to run the world's first NBN-enabled athletics training session with children at South Hobart Oval.
Johnson ran through his tips for becoming a successful athlete and talked about how he developed his own career before he got the NBN-enabled coaching session underway from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In a demonstration of how services over the NBN can be used for coaching and teaching, the four-time Olympic goal medallist started off with some stretches for the children from Mount Carmel College. He then moved on to demonstrating the best starting position and showed why his running style worked so well.
Robinson said he was excited by how superfast broadband can help change the face of sport in Australia.
