Australia's Greatest Athlete season 2

The second season of Australia's Greatest Athlete was broadcast on the Seven Network and hosted by Mark Beretta and Tom Williams, with Ricky Ponting presenting occasional fitness tips and interviews with the competitors in video packages. It was once again sponsored by Rexona, which had naming rights to the show.

Filming took place on Couran Cove Island Resort on South Stradbroke Island off the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Billy Slater, who won the first season of the show, returned to defend his title. By the end of the series, Slater had successfully defended his title by just 5 points, winning the title, trophy and $10,000 for the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane.

The season began on 6 February 2010 and aired at 4:30 pm on both Saturdays and Sundays, and concluded on 28 February 2010.
