Australia and the Olympic Games Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics Performances Sydney 2000 Performances Australia had 632 athletes competing at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Begin by exploring the overviews of the Sydney Olympic Games to get a sense of the occasion and the quality of the athlete performances under such competition pressure. The wide range of choices for the investigation of individual and team performances will then have a context. The Gold medal events were thrilling for spectators and the estimated international TV audience of 3.6 billion (Nielsen) but so many other athlete performances deserve reviewing.

Re‐live it with him: Thorpedo Grabs 400m Gold in 2000 Source: media.olympics.com.au The 400 Metres Freestyle Ian Thorpe's introduction to the Olympics occupied one crowded hour on the first night t of swimming competition at the Sydney Games and yielded two gold medals, plus a couple of Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics Performances world records. He was never a boisterous but after the second event, he was unaccustomedly exuberant. “ This is my best minute, the best hour, the best day of my life, he said of his stunning arrival. “To be able to dream, and fulfil it is the best thing an individual can do Rather like Michael Johnson, he had assumed, the personal proprietorship of a distance. The distance (like Johnson's) was 400 metres, the discipline freestyle swimming. Since he had taken Kieren Perkins' mantle, Thorpe had overcome distractions ‐ a broken ankle, ridiculous drug a insinuations from Germany (some even related to the size of his feet), the rumpus that preceded the introduction of bodysuits at the Games ‐ to reach this moment of truth equipped with A philosophy to match his talent. As world champion and world record‐holder over the distance, and the creator of six recent world records, he was well aware that he was carrying an enormous weight of expectations. But, at 17 he possessed an astonishing degree of cool maturity. His theory was that if he could turn those expectations into something positive, they would amount to sheer support', if they were allowed to become a negative, they would t translate to unwanted pressure. He did not concern himself much with the opposition. His attitude was taut: ”I have a lane and I swim. I can't affect the performance of my competitors … lf l focus all my energy and attention on what I'm trying to do, I'm going to be able to get my best performance. It’s as simple as that'.” Around the pool deck he was known as Big Foot. Nobody could ever think of him as Big Head. As he padded towards' the starting blocks at the Sydney Aquatic Centre he looked as un‐ flustered and relaxed as if this was just another meet. Above and around him, the bulk of the 17,500 crowd were stomping and chanting: ''Thor‐pee! Thor‐pee!'' While he continued to appear unaffected by the din, he later confessed that he felt like a gladiator walking into the Coliseum. He hit the surface hard at the start, and after the first half‐lap was ahead by nearly a body length. Scything through the water with his long, languid‐looking stroke and explosive kick, he led by a full second at the first turn. From then the only question was whether he would break a world record. This he dutifully did, completing eight withering laps in three minutes, 40.59 seconds, shaving 0.74 seconds from the mark he had set 12 months previously. As he touched the wall he looked at the scoreboard, then acknowledged the crowd with raised fists, but stayed calm and controlled. He whispered an omnibus ''thank you'' ‐ to God, to the crowd, to his family, to his country, to every influence that had brought him to this place ‐ before leaving the water. “I think he was born to swim, '' said the Italian Massi Rosolini, who finished an unthreatening second in three minutes, 43.40 seconds, the fourth fastest time in history. Thorpe owned the other three. Harry Gordon, Gold – An Olympic Celebration, Wilkinson Publishing Pty Ltd., Melbourne 2008, p159‐160. Mens 4X100m Relay Having just finished the 400 metres freestyle, Ian Thorpe had minutes to prepare for the 4X100 metres relay. Night one of his first Olympics wasn’t over yet. Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics Performances It was a night when sheer energy would come in handy. After a few anxious moments between races when Thorpe's jet‐black swimsuit split at the seams ‐ it took him 10 minutes to be squeezed into his spare suit ‐ rejoined his team mates Michael Klim, Chris Fydler and Ashley Callus for his next big test, the 4 x 100 metres relay. This was an event the United States had never once been beaten in, since its introduction to the Games program in 1964. The stranglehold had almost been prised loose just once, in Atlanta in 1996, when its anchor man, Gary Hall Jr, had been forced to swim the fastest relay leg in history to bring the tean home. This time the same Gary Hall had unintentionally provided the Australian’s with a motivational tool by declaring in print that the US team would “smash Australia like guitars” in the swimming events. He would later explain that he had meant no disrespect ‐ that the remark had been less a taunt than a joke that didn't work too well. No matter . it became a handy spur. Klim fairly flew from the blocks and thrashed his way to a handy opening lead, covering the first 100 metres in 48.18 seconds to shave three‐tenths of a second from the world record held by the great Russian Alex Popov ‐ who happened to be Klim's training partner at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. Fydler and Callus both held their opponents will on the second and third legs, and as the anchor men hit the water for the final two laps, Thorpe had a narrow margin over Hall. Hall, a much more seasoned sprinter, reeled Thorpe in, and when he took a lead of half a body length into the final turn the American’s unbeaten record looked intact. With his powerful, so‐ very‐relaxed stroke and furious size 17 kick, Thorpe kept on gaining ground until he caught Hall in the final metres and touched the wall just in front. The winning relay time was another world record – three minutes, 13.67 seconds. That anchor leg had been a magnificent effort from a youngster who until then did not take himself too seriously as a sprinter. (Unfamiliar with the limits of the distance, he had not been sure at first whether Klim had even broken the .world record …''1 really had to think about it because I'm not really a 100m swimmer”). After he did check, he was able to advise Klim before he took off on his final leg that yes, he was pretty sure it had been a record. His own mighty effort in upsetting the most highly regarded relay swimmer in the world had owed less to muscle and power than to passion, courage and self‐belief. Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics Performances Australian Men’s 4X100m relay team victory Source: Official Report XXVII Olympiad, Vol. 2, p150. Afterwards Hall had to endure the painful sight of the Australian quartet strumming away at non‐existent guitars in a not‐too‐subtle jibe at the prediction that bounced. The winners, even including the normally reserved Thorpe, were ecstatic ‐ hugging, punching high, roaring their joy. They knew they hadn't just won an important race and set a world mark; they had annexed a tradition of American swimming. Twenty minutes after the race Hall was still close to disbelief. The Americans had broken their own world record by almost one‐and‐a‐half seconds, yet had lost the men's 100 metres relay for the first time in history. Dawn Fraser, the matriarch of world swimming, called it ; “probably the greatest race I've ever seen.” Thorpe, asked to choose between those two at debut gold medals, said afterwards that the relay meant more to him.

  • The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry Into the Contribution of Sport
    Submission 049 The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry into the contribution of Sport to Indigenous wellbing and mentoring 1 Submission 049 IMP objectives 1. To promote healthy and active lifestyles throughout Indigenous communities nationally and reduce the incidence of Indigenous chronic disease: & 2. To create Indigenous distance running champions and to inspire Indigenous people. Background The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) was established in 2009 by World Champion marathon runner and 1983 Australian of the Year, Robert de Castella. IMP annually selects, educates, trains and takes a group of inspirational young Indigenous men and women aged 18-30 to compete in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon. IMP is not a sports program. IMP is a social change program that uses the simple act of running as a vehicle to promote the benefits of active and healthy lifestyles and change lives. The group of men and women are similar to rocks in a pond, with their ripple effect continuing to inspire local family and community members as well as thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians nationally. The Project highlights the incredible natural talent that exists within the Australian Indigenous population, with the hope to one day unearth an Indigenous long-distance running champion to take on the African dominance. The core running squad push their physical and mental boundaries to beyond what they ever thought they were capable of, and after crossing the finish line of the world’s biggest marathon, they know they can achieve anything. These runners are trained to become healthy lifestyle leaders by completing a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure, with a focus on Indigenous healthy lifestyle.

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.
