Kew: Olympic champ Alisa Camplin-Warner and husband Oliver Camplin-Warner sell historic house
Olympic aerial-skiing gold medallist Alisa Camplin-Warner and her husband, Telstra group executive Oliver Camplin-Warner, have sold their historic Kew house.
The sports champion and business bigwig listed their circa-1886 home for sale with a $6m-$6.6m asking range, in March.
The 1201sq m property featuring a heated in-ground pool and half-basketball court recently sold for an undisclosed sum.
Ms Camplin-Warner won gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA, plus a bronze medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy.
She will serve as the Australian Olympic team's chef de mission at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.
Before joining Telstra, Mr Camplin-Warner spent 11 years at IBM in London.
Records show that the couple bought their Victorian-era, five-bedroom house for $4.202m in 2015, however Marshall White Boroondara director Chris Barrett declined to comment on its latest sale price.
The residence was originally built by the Melbourne-based architectural firm Reed Henderson & Smart, which under its previous name Reed & Barnes was responsible for iconic buildings including the Melbourne Town Hall, Rippon Lea in Elsternwick, Scots' Church in Melbourne and the Melbourne International Exhibition Building.
The practice has been known as Bates Smart since 1995.
Period features throughout the Kew abode include timber fretwork, iron lacework on the verandas, stained glass windows, marble fireplaces, arched hallways and ceiling roses.
There's also a formal living room and combined lounge and music room, that both open to a veranda.
Upstairs is home to the five bedrooms including the main bedroom with a with a dressing room, a family bathroom and a study nook and storage space.
The address is part of a Boroondara Council heritage overlay area that is 'one of Melbourne's best concentrations of large late Victorian and Federation house designs', according to the Victorian Heritage Database.

AFL round 13: Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lions, live scores and SuperCoach points
It's being billed as the Crows' chance to show they deserve to be considered a genuine top-four threat. The City of Churches will come alive for Friday night footy when Adelaide welcomes Brisbane Lions in one of the most eagerly-anticipated clashes of 2025. Third-placed Adelaide enters the blockbuster clash with one win (GWS at home) and four losses (Geelong at home and Fremantle, Gold Coast and Collingwood away) against top-eight teams this year. 'We're dug into the process, so we can only do what we can do against the opposition every week,' coach Matthew Nicks said. 'Some of our tougher games are on the road – we played at the MCG against Collingwood – and we could get everything right and still not win those games. 'We're just locked in on what we need to do (Friday) night. 'And that (weekly focus) is on what we need to do to beat any side, but we'll need to do it for a lot longer to beat Brisbane.'

Todd Payten unleashes mammoth half-time spray only for it to backfire badly
Cowboys coach Todd Payten unleashed an all-time spray on his troops after a dismal first half against the Storm on Thursday night. The coach reportedly named and shamed several of his stars, pointing out issues in their game and lapses of judgement as they went into the break down 18-4 against the storm. But it was the stats that told the story, North Queensland made 7 errors and missed a whopping 27 tackles despite having most of the possession. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. And so Payten decided to try and light a fire under his side going into the second half. But his hopes of a different outcome in the second period went up in smoke within 2 minutes. Inside 50 seconds, Cowboys fullback Scott Drinkwater dropped the ball in their first set of the half. And the very next set Melbourne crossed for their fourth try. After extending the lead to 20-points Fox Sports' Eloise Sohier revealed Payten gave reportedly the worst spray the Cowboys' bench had ever seen. 'The bench told me that they have never seen a spray as bad as he (Payten) delivered at half time,' Sohier told Fox Sports. 'He picked out players, he tore apart their game. He won't be happy with that start.' You can watch footage of the NRL coach's spray in the player above. In the end, the Cowboys were thoroughly beaten 38-14 by the Storm, who were far from their best themselves. And the NRL world empathised with the 46-year-old coach after a difficult evening. 'Todd Payten has every right to feed it to those Cowboys. A couple of those tries were very soft,' one fan wrote on X. 'Fox: 'Todd Payten gave them the Biggest spray they've ever seen', Cowboy Players: 'I didn't hear anything,' another joked. 'Obviously the spray Payten gave them at half time didn't work. Once again they were their own worst enemy,' a third added. After the game, Payten was still seething at what transpired, as he spoke freely about his disappointment in his players' performance. 'Pure disappointment,' Payten said in response to a question about what he made of the game. 'Didn't make a good team (Storm) earn anything and in the end when you crack so easily on your try line and give leg up after leg up … it probably should have been more.' Jahrome Hughes shines in Storm win Star halfback Jahrome Hughes was back to his Dally M winning form as the Storm proved too good for the Cowboys. Hughes and five-eighth Cameron Munster were playing for a 100th time together as a halves combination and they got the better of rising North Queensland duo Tom Dearden and Jaxon Purdue in an intriguing battle. It was the 77th time the Storm has won with a Hughes-Munster halves combo, an impressive 77 per cent. The Storm made it back-to-back wins for the first time since early April. Hughes had his fingerprints all over the victory. The 30-year-old scored two tries to go with two try assists and produced a tidy kicking game with 386 kick metres. Munster was a handful too, making 17 runs for a punishing 181 run metres. 'They are mesmerised by Hughes. Just dancing and weaving his way with ease,' Michael Ennis said.

Criterion: IDP Education's share plunge is a harsh lesson for the overseas student industry
The student recruiter has been hit by the migration backlash not just here, but in Canada, the UK and the US Other listed colleges are tweaking their business models to focus on domestic students While there's no end of the pain in sight, some brokers reckon IDP Education is a buy at its marked-down valuation It's not unusual for a small cap stock to decline 50% in value or more in one day. But when the top 200 stock IDP Education (ASX:IEL) achieved that this week – erasing more than $1 billion of market value – it was a case of 'class, take note'. The dramatic plunge came after the overseas student wrangler's confession on Tuesday that full-year revenue and earnings would plummet on the back of visa crackdowns. The stock has lost an astonishing 75% over the last year. Arguably the downgrade was years in the making, given the quality issues besetting both the tertiary and vocational sectors for some years. Still, investors were shocked by the scale of the revision or maybe they just hadn't done their homework. IDP guided to a 28-30% decline in student placement volumes, with its language testing arm likely to fall by 18-20%. Adjusted earnings before interest and tax (ebit) are expected at $115-125 million, a circa 50% year-on-year decline and well shy of market expectations of $166 million. Trump-like 'regulation by fiat' The visa crackdown was contained in a bill that the old Parliament did not pass, but government went ahead via a Trump-style Ministerial Directive (MD107). The measure means visa applications are processed on the perceived risk of the education provider and the student's country of origin. Dubbed by college operator Academies Australasia (ASX:AKG) as 'regulation by fiat', the measure compounds the problems of providers with high visa rejection rates. The reasons for the knock-backs are likely to be beyond the colleges' control. Nowhere to hide as migration policies bite IDP's problems don't start and end at home. Half-owned by sandstone universities, the company started out as a local uni recruiter but now touts for colleges in the UK, Canada and the US. Half of the company's revenue deriving from English language testing and teaching. The UK is even more zealous on reducing migration, as is Canada given the backdrop of the recent close election. We'll simply call US a no-go zone, given Trump's order to block Harvard University from admitting international students. Heeding the lessons IDP is not the only ASX-listed, overseas student focused education play feeling the pinch. It's a case of accepting the new reality and adapting. The amalgam of Icollege and Redhill Education, NextEd Group (ASX:NXD) reported a $2.2 million first half loss, amid a 21% revenue decline (to $47 million). However Nexted offset some of the impact of a 52% English language services decline with increased international vocation enrolment. The aforementioned Academies managed to grow half year revenue by 2.8% (to $23.9 million). The company also narrowed a previous $7.5 million loss to a $958,000 deficit. Operator of the Ikon (tertiary) and ALG (vocational) colleges, EDU Holdings (ASX:EDU) gets a gold star by doubling calendar 2024 revenue to $42 million. The company also managed a $2.6 million profit after three years of losses. Gary Burg told last month's AGM the impact of the visa changes remained unclear and the company was focusing on the domestic student market. A free kick of the 'political football'? Despite the IDP sell down there's still a country mile between its $1 billion market cap and the circa $20-40 million valuation ascribed to the other providers. As with all harsh sell-offs, have investors have over-reacted? Broker UBS contends IDP's business model is unbroken and the company 'remains a high-quality business in challenging conditions'. The firm rates the stock a 'buy' with a price target of $4.95, implying around 40% of upside. IDP is undertaking a detailed business review, with an update promised at its August full-year results. At Academies' AGM last year, acting chairman Chiang Meng Heng decried the sector being turned into a political Sherrin. 'Certain comments being bandied about smack of populism, rather than carefully considered positions that are good for the country,' he said. 'The air may not clear until after the federal election.' More than a month after the poll, clarity awaits.
