Tracey Holmes

Tracey Holmes is one of Australia’s most recognised sports journalists, having spent almost four decades reporting on the world’s biggest sports stories. Her work is focused on the intersection of sport with politics, business, culture, and news. Her weekly podcast, The Sports Ambassador, explores in detail the stories behind the headlines. Published in August 2025, The Eye of the Dragonfly is her latest book, offering a 360-degree view of the world through the prism of sport. 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 Communications, is currently studying a Master’s in Sports Diplomacy at the Hungary University of Sports Science, and (when time permits) will finish her Master’s in Sports Law at Melbourne University.
