Athletes Dominic Clarke and Shaun Wessel proved just how versatile they are when they auditioned for The Voice Australia on Tuesday.
Both sports stars turned every coach’s chair as they impressed with their undeniable musical talents.
Speaking ahead of his audition, gymnast Dominic, 25, revealed that he’d competed at last year’s Olympics in Tokyo.

‘I went to the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 as a trampoline gymnast. I performed really well. I made an Olympic final, so I was absolutely on top of the world,’ he said.
He continued: ‘In the finals, I fell, and I ended up coming eighth. The Olympics was a celebration for all the hard work I’d done. So the whole experience was worth more than a medal to me.’
Dominic admitted he was more nervous about auditioning for The Voice than he’d been when he competed at the Olympics.

‘Walking out onto The Voice stage is going to be way more daunting than the Olympics, because singing is so subjective and it comes from the soul. And it’s a lot more vulnerable than gymnastics,’ he explained.
But he didn’t have to worry, with Dominic blowing all four coaches away with his performance of Sam Fischer’s This City.
‘Music is my escape. I’m an athlete by trade,’ Dominic told the coaches, before an excited Guy Sebastian spotted his Olympic rings tattoo on his left arm.

‘It does make sense though now, knowing you’ve competed on world stages, how you handled that pressure,’ Guy, 40, told him.
Later, former NRL player Shaun, 40, wowed the judges with his raw performance of The Allman Brothers Band’s Whipping Post.
Shaun explained that he’d once played with the Cronulla Sharks, and admitted his sporting career had been short-lived.

‘When I was 21, I played for the Cronulla Sharks. I played a couple of games in the NRL. It was amazing,’ he said.
He added: ‘It didn’t pan out as well as I’d hoped. I just wasn’t strong enough or good enough. Still love the game, still watch the game. Happy to be on the sidelines drinking beer instead of getting bashed.’
After choosing Keith Urban to be his coach, the 54-year-old was so impressed by Shaun’s performance, he gave him a ‘Battle Pass’.

‘So, we have a very special thing that we can do, and I think he should be Battle Passing,’ Keith announced, before slamming the ‘Battle Pass’ button.
The all-new ‘Battle Pass’ allows coaches to fast-track artists straight through to the show’s Battle Rounds.
‘I have never heard a voice like yours on a show like this,’ fellow coach Rita Ora told a shy Shaun.
The Voice Australia continues on Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Seven
