Donna Gould was the first Australian woman to compete in back-to-back summer Olympics in different sports.

Gould, from McLaren Vale in South Australia, represented Australia in athletics at the Los Angeles 1984 Games before switching to cycling.

A former Australian record-holder over 3,000 and 5,000 metres, she joined the Australian Institute of Sport cycling program in 1987 and competed in the road race at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games.

She raced three editions of the women’s Tour de France from 1987–89, as well as competing at the 1990 Commonwealth Games and the 1988 women's Giro d'Italia, where she finished fifth and won the queen of the mountains jersey.
