1 The Surprising Joys of the Olympics in Lockdown Brenna Dempsey , 2021 single work column
— Appears in: Eureka Street , 12 September vol. 31 no. 18 2021;

'I have never paid much attention to the Olympics or Paralympics. The games always seemed too patriotic while simultaneously being too individualistic. Plus, I don’t enjoy watching people push themselves so hard for something to the point where they need to throw up. That said, I’m in Melbourne in lockdown, I’m working from home, and living alone and I need to have something on in the background while I work, or I feel too lonely. If I play music, I get distracted. So I decided to tune into the games and have them on in the background, volume low, to see if it helped me focus." (Introduction)
