Olympic legend and Brisbane Nova radio host Susie O’Neill has announced her departure from radio live on air after more than a decade on the airwaves. O’Neill delivered the news on Friday morning, saying the decision “wasn’t easy” and came “with a heavy heart”. The 51-year-old competed in three Olympic Games during her swimming career, winning eight medals, including gold medals in the 200m butterfly in 1996 and the 200m freestyle in 2000, earning her the nickname “Madame Butterfly”.
“I was horrible at radio, and I’d be upset and say, ‘I can’t do it,’ and you’d both say, ‘no, just keep going, just keep going’, and for a lot of the time it has been more than just a job. “I actually do have some hard times in my life, even though it seems like I live a pretty good life, but when I’ve had really hard times I’ve known that I can come in here, just be myself and be present and enjoy it, and you’d tell me you don’t even have to say anything, just sit there.
