The heroic achievements of our athletes at every Olympic Games since 1896 are a source of pride for all Australians. The Australian Olympic Team is the embodiment of our nations hopes, dreams and desires. The Team links faces and names of past and present athletes across boundaries of time and distance. The Australian Olympic movement promotes to the youth of Australia values which are not bounded by place, creed or time. Values such as respect, aspiration and teamwork. The Olympic Games provide Australia with the opportunity to compete against the world’s best in a competition that promotes a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. As proud custodian of the Olympic Movement in Australia the Australian Olympic Committee is committed to promoting the Olympic ideals and values to all through sport. Australian Olympic Committee 2 2013 Annual Report 3 PRESIDENT’S REVIEW Congratulations to the 2014 Australian Olympic Team which comprised a record 60 athletes competing in Sochi, Russia. There was great spirit and harmony within the Team which resulted in three medals: Torah Bright, silver in the women’s snowboard halfpipe; Lydia Lassila, bronze in the freestyle skiing women’s aerials; and, David Morris, silver in the freestyle skiing men’s aerials. The new spirit of cooperation between the AOC, Australian Sports Commission (ASC), Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) has blossomed over the past twelve months. The introduction of the ASC’s Winning Edge Strategy is a clear indication of how attitudes have changed and our common goals. The AOC has backed the Strategy since day one and we are striving for success together. Buenos Aires, 10 September, 2013: The Chairman of the ASC, John Wylie, deserves special recognition for Dr Thomas Bach congratulates John Coates the leadership and vision he has given to his organisation. For me, working on his election as IOC Vice President while closely with John, has been an extremely positive experience. awaiting the result and announcement of his own election as 10th President of the IOC. Winning Edge has morphed into Campaign Rio. Clearly this is the first major challenge for our partnership with key members of the AIS embedded into the Australian Olympic Team. Significant appointments include:- • AIS Director, Matt Favier as a Deputy Chef de Mission, specialising in High Performance. • Dr David Hughes, AIS Head of Sports Medicine, who will be the Team Medical Director; and • Nick Brown, AIS Deputy Director of Research and Applied Science, who will oversee Sports Science for our Team in Rio. I am on the record as saying “Rio will go down to the wire” with its preparations. IOC President, Dr Thomas Bach met Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff in Brasilia in January of this year before travelling to Rio de Janeiro for a comprehensive tour of the Olympic sites and meetings with the Rio Organising Committee, City, State and Federal authorities. After his meeting with President Rousseff, Dr Bach said he was impressed with her “strong commitment” to the Games and expressed his confidence in Brazil’s preparations. “We’ve seen great progress in the last couple of months. The organising committee has worked extremely well. But on the other hand, the President (Rousseff) also made it clear that time is key and we don’t have any day to lose”, he said. We remain concerned about some of the connecting transport infrastructure and the impact on athlete travel times for some sports. Campaign Rio under the guidance of Chef de Mission, Kitty Chiller, must find ways to overcome this and other challenges so our athletes are comfortable with their surroundings and perform at their best in 2016. The behaviour of a few, and I stress a few, of our athletes in London was not of the standard expected of an Australian Olympian. Work is being done on Team culture by Kitty and her Team Executive with the involvement of our Athletes’ Commission and this will be a focus over the next three years.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. 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.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas
    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.
