Biography
[ edit ]
Born in Perth, Western Australia , to South African immigrant parents, Steffensen competed in the 2004 Olympics , and was a part of the Australian team that won the silver medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay .
Steffensen won the gold medal in the 400 m at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne , with a time of 44.73, setting a new personal best. This has often been referred to as the greatest race of all time.[1] He won a second gold medal as the first runner in the 4 × 400 m Australian relay team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.[citation needed ]
He boycotted the 2010 Commonwealth Games after a series of disputes with Athletics Australia , which he accused of mismanaging athletes.[2]
He is an old boy of Trinity College, Perth , and Guildford Grammar School , Perth (92-96).
He was runner up to Stephanie Rice in the 2013 Australian version of the television program Celebrity Apprentice . Since then, he has been making regular appearances on Nine Network's Wide World of Sports as a co-host.
Steffensen collaborated with Athletics Australia to develop the Nitro Athletics track and field series, which included variations on the traditional one-day athletics meeting with the intention of widening the sport's fanbase.[3]
Steffensen made his first step into motor racing at Sandown in 2017 driving a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge series with Zagame Motorsport backed by Repair Management Australia.[4] He finished the championship in eighth and moved immediately into the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia in 2018 driving in the Porsche Centre Melbourne team.
