My name is Emma berg, I'm a 23year old elite shot-put thrower living in Bendigo, VIC. I would love it if you could support me on my journey to achieving my dream of becoming an Olympian.

I am the four-time Australian National Champion in the women's shot-put and the Fifth-All-Time Australian in that event, with a personal best of 16.87m.

I have represented Australia at the past three Oceania Championships, on the u23 European touring team, and in New Zealand, where I have gained experience and exposure. These competitions have fueled my passion for becoming an Olympian, which I have dreamt of since I started throwing at the age of 9.

I am a self-funded athlete without sponsorship or financial support from my national sporting organisation. I work part-time as a nurse and also full-time as a student, which keeps me busy but also provides me with a balance between my training and helps financially with day-to-day costs such as petrol to and from training, coaching fees, medical support (physio), gym membership, and some throwing equipment. When I’m not working, studying, or training, I am a coach teaching the next generation alongside my coach, Peter Barrett.

I would greatly appreciate any support you can provide on my journey to the 2025 World Championships in Japan, the 2026 Commonwealth Games, the 2027 World Championships, the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and the Brisbane Olympics 2032.
