Husband and wife both win the Stawell Gift

Stawell, Victoria, April 21, 2025, a record crowd packed into Central Park on Easter Monday, to witness athleticism at its very best for the 143rd edition of the Powercor Stawell Gift.

Olympic semi-finalist Bree Rizzo shone on the track to win the Powercor Women’s Gift from the scratch mark, becoming just the second woman to do so after Melissa Breen in 2012.

Her remarkable win saw Bree join her husband and 2017 champion Matt Rizzo, becoming the first married couple to both claim a Stawell Gift crown.
