Sarah Jones Q&A

This is a little Q&A with Sarah Jones of Fox Sports.

Who Is the most memorable sportsperson you've interviewed?

Growing up my hero was Kieren Perkins. His famous win in Atlanta is without a doubt my favourite sporting moment! It would have been unbelievable to interview him straight after that swim... but I was only 14. However I did interview him at the recent World Championships in Melbourne - a career highlight!

Who is the person you would most like to interview?

There's so many! Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, David Beckham. All the icons I suppose! And I think Marion Jones would make a fascinating interview after all she's been through recently.

What is your funniest or most embarrassing moment?

While interviewing an AFL coach a gust of wind blew my skirt up!

If you could change one rule in sport, what would it be?

This is not politically correct but I hate the rule against melees in AFL. There's nothing like a good all in brawl! I also would get rid of the interpretation of the hands in the back rule... as long as players aren't shoved out of the contest, it's fair game in my book.
