All of this year's sliders for the 2025 FightMND Big Freeze have been unveiled, with the full list of participants made up of sporting icons.

2024's edition saw the likes of Pat Rafter, Erin Phillips, Meg Lanning, Joel Selwood, and Nic Naitanui go down the slide to help support the cause ahead of the King's Birthday match between Collingwood and Melbourne.

This year's list has attempted to outdo 2024's cohort, with their first confirmed slider coming in the form of four-time Olympic Gold Medal winner and known Hawthorn fan Ariarne Titmus.

The 24-year-old is a world record holder in the pool and has headlined Australia's Olympic campaigns in 2020 in Tokyo and last year in Paris.

"Watching the Big Freeze over the years, I have been blown away by the reach and impact the initiative has had on people all over the country. My grandfather lost one of his best mates to MND, so I have witnessed the cruelty of the disease myself," Titmus said of her decision to participate.ย 

"I'm passionate about using my platform for good, and being asked to be a part of the Big Freeze this year by Neale and Bec is an absolute honour. I want to take the opportunity with both hands and spread the live it forward message as far and wide as I can."ย 

Peter Daicos has been announced as the second individual to go down the Big Freeze slide in 2025. The 250-game Magpie and father of stars Josh and Nick Daicos was revealed to be the next slider during Collingwood's clash with Hawthorn in Round 12.

"I'm chuffed to be included, and I don't know too much about the challenge of it, but I know it's something I'll always look back on with a lot of fond memories, for sure," Daicos said.

"I didn't need too much convincing to do it. From afar, having watched it over the years, you've got nothing but admiration."

Former rugby league player turned actor, Matt Nable, will also be heading down the slide, as will former Australian cricket captain Mark Taylor, ex-Olympian Matt Shirvington and Australian netball icon Lix Watson.

Nable also voices Fox Footy intros, while Taylor currently commentates cricket during the Australian summer, and Shirvington is a TV presenter.

Watson is a Commonwealth Games gold medallist and winner of the Netball World Cup with Australia, and has featured for the Melbourne Vixens and Sunshine Coast Lightning.

Australian women's cricket captain Alyssa Healy also joins the sliders in the cause, as has Melbourne great Aaron Davey, who played 178 games in red and blue between 2004-2013, winning the club's best and fairest in 2009.

Cycling legend Cadel Evans was confirmed as the ninth of 10 sliders, with V8 Supercars champion Craig Lowndes rounding out this year's group.
