After tearing her meniscus and missing the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, Tamsin transitioned from hard court volleyball to beach volleyball and won the 2005/2006 National Title with Sydney 2000 gold medallist Natalie Cook.
Together they placed fifth in Beijing in 2008 before being knocked out in the group stage of the London 2012 Games.
