The opening two rounds of the upcoming IronMan and IronWoman Series take place in Manly this weekend, where Redhead SLSC member Sam Djodan will be joined by Hancock, Minogue and Warner.

A three-time Iron Series champion, Hancock will look to provide unique insight and analysis in what will be her debut in the commentary booth.

"I am beyond excited to be a part of the commentary team (this) season," Hancock said.

"I love this sport very much so to be asked this is a huge honour and I can’t wait to be right in there with all the action.

"I want to showcase the athletes, how fit and skilful they are in the ocean, as well as adding my knowledge from being an Ironwoman myself.

"I have raced every one of these Ironwomen and train with a lot of the Ironmen, so I hope to be able to share the way they race as every athlete racing is very different from the next.
"This sport has given me so much and this weekend, I hope, is the start of me being able to give back to the sport I love."

Minogue is equally excited to get back on the beach this summer ahead of what he believes could be one of the most competitive editions of the Iron Series yet.

"We’re looking forward to one of the most competitive and exciting Nutri-Grain IronMan and IronWoman Series in a very long time," Minogue said.

"In both the men’s and women’s, we’re seeing some all time greats going up against the next generation of superstars - in a changing of the guard like we’ve never seen."

It all promises to be an enthralling season of Surf Life Saving on Australian soil, and both SBS and SBS On Demand will provide complete coverage of all the action.
