    Excerpts from Lydia's official bio page (7/31/18):

     

    "A mum of two, a five-time Winter Olympic aerial skier, entrepreneur and now Australian Survivor castaway. There’s not much Lydia can’t handle.

     

    “I think Survivor is a once in a lifetime experience and definitely a challenge. Just because I’m classified as a Champion, doesn’t mean it’s going to be an easy ride for me. I’m looking for new challenges that will push me beyond my comfort zone and I think doing this will definitely be that!”

     

    A gold medalist who competed in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympic Games, Lydia has been awarded for many accolades including the prestigious “The Don” award by the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.

     

    In 2006, Lydia’s knee collapsed on impact after she attempted to land a difficult jump, forcing her to withdraw. Just 16 months later, Lydia made her comeback at the World Cup competition winning silver in her first event.

     

    Lydia’s biggest sporting achievement came at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010 when she won gold in the aerials - Australia’s second gold medal for the games. At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics Lydia became the first woman to complete the ground-breaking aerial manoeuvre: a quadruple twisting triple somersault.  ...

     

    While she’s feeling confident she’s got what it takes to win, Lydia doesn’t want to the bad guy saying, “I think I’m very similar to Lee from the first season. I don’t know if I’m as much of an asset as he was in challenges but our personalities and values are similar.”"

    Official Ten SurvivorAU: All-Stars bio excerpts (February 3, 2020):

     

    "One of the most competitive and accomplished physical players the show has seen, Lydia returns in full game mode. An Olympic Freestyle Skier, Lydia knows how to push herself to get to the end but had a rude surprise in her season when she was blindsided by Mat Rogers.

     

    Coming back a little bit for revenge but mostly for a second chance, Lydia knows what she wants. “I need to trust my gut and act quickly on any red flags. I was definitely holding back last time, especially in Tribal Councils and I could have been more vocal in my opinion. “I don’t want to just be seen as a physical beast. I want to take risks, I want to come up with great ideas and plans and be a strong all-round player.”

     

    As a fellow Olympian, Lydia has great respect for Season 2 winner Shane Gould, and still has great friendships with contestants like Sharn, who came runner up in their series.

     

    When she’s not breaking world records and taking on challenges, Lydia is a mum of two and loves surfing near her home in the Victorian beachside of Lorne. If she wins All Stars, Lydia says she’ll use the money to, “Give back to my local community and help improve school and sports communities. I’d also like to go on a family holiday and invest for my kids.”"
