In the dynamic landscape of Australian athletics, Emelia Surch emerges as a multi-faceted talent heptathlete with a story that transcends the boundaries of track and field. At 21, she has not only represented Australia on the global stage in the World U20 Championships in Columbia, securing a remarkable 4th place in the long jump with a leap of 6.45m, but she also holds the esteemed titles of the current under-20 Oceania champion and record holder in long jump and hurdles. She placed third, in the heptathlon, at both the Australian Olympic National Trials and the Oceanic Championships. Amidst her exploits on the track, Emelia is navigating the challenging realm of academia, pursuing studies in nursing at university. A true embodiment of dedication and versatility, she also trains rigorously six days a week for the seven events in the heptathlon, showcasing her commitment to excellence in every aspect of her life. Guiding her on this extraordinary journey is coach Glynis Nunn, a 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist, who envisions Olympic success for Emelia with the proper support. “If Emelia had funding, we could prioritise preparation, recovery, and training. I know I have an Olympic Athlete who is capable of achieving something very special,” says Nunn. Ironically, Glynis' win was in Los Angeles the same city in which the next 2028 Olympic Games will be held.

As Emelia seeks sponsors to elevate her athletic career and make the 2028 Olympics Games in L.A., her narrative unfolds as a harmonious blend of record-breaking achievements, Olympic aspirations, and the relentless pursuit of excellence on all fronts. 

Emelia’s narrative unfolds as a testament to the pursuit of excellence across diverse aspects of life, embodying the spirit of a young athlete determined to make her mark on the world stage.

Stay connected with Emelia’s journey through her social media platforms and lend your support to her endeavours with the hashtag #SurchForGold and become part of her team by making your financial contribution.

Your encouragement will undoubtedly play a crucial role in propelling her towards achieving greatness and the opportunity to become an Olympian.
