Tracey Lee Holmes

Tracey Lee Holmes is one of Australia’s most recognised and internationally rewarded journalists having spent almost four decades reporting on the world’s biggest sports stories. Her work is focused on the intersection where sport meets politics, business, culture, and news. Her weekly podcast and Substack page, The Sports Ambassador, explores in detail the stories behind the headlines. The Eye of the Dragonfly, her most recent book, offers a 360-degree view of the world through the prism of sport published by Simon and Schuster. As Deputy Chair of the Oceania Australia Foundation, a Council Member of Indigenous Football Australia, a member of the IOC Press Committee, and a Mentor for the IOC Young Reporters program, Tracey is actively involved in promoting sport as a tool for social change and empowerment. Tracey has a master’s degree in international sports diplomacy from the Hungary University of Sports Science, a master’s in communications from Griffith University, Queensland, and (when time permits) will finish her master’s in sports law at Melbourne University.
