Early years

Prior to her walking career, she studied ballet at the national theatre ballet school in st kilda, Victoria. Under the training of Beverly Jane Fry.

She began taking part in Little Athletics when she was seven,[9] encouraged by her mother, who was herself a hurdler. She was inspired by Cathy Freeman, as well as her contemporaries Regan Lamble and Steven Solomon.[1] A Jewish Australian, at age 15 was recognised for her wins at the state and national championships with the Australian 2013 Outstanding Jewish Junior Sportswoman of the Year Award.[3]

She made her first impact with a win in the under-20 section at the 2014 Oceania Race Walking Championships.[10] A global medal came later that May, as she placed twelfth in the 10 kilometres walk at the 2014 IAAF World Race Walking Cup and shared in the team bronze with Clara Smith and Elizabeth Hosking.[11] She graduated high school from Wesley College in 2016.[9]

She was the Australian team’s flag bearer at the 2017 Maccabiah Games in Israel, where she won a silver medal in the 10 km race walk.[12]

Montag earned selection for Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games through a silver medal performance behind Beki Smith at the 2018 Australia and Oceania Race Walking Championships, setting a personal best of 1:31:26 hours in her second ever competitive outing over the 20 km distance.[13]

Montag was the gold medalist of the 20 kilometers race walk at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, at 20 years of age.[9] She had been leading alongside fellow Australian Claire Tallent, but was assured of the win when Tallent was disqualified in the final stage of the race.[14][15]

She came in sixth in the final of the Women's 20 km walk in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in a time of 1:30.39, at 23 years of age.[16]

Montag won the gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, repeating in the 20 kilometers race walk.[17]

In March 2022 she was inducted into the Maccabi Victoria Hall of Fame.[18]
