60 Olympic Flashbacks
I have been fascinated by the Olympics since watching the 1968 Mexico Games 100m freestyle on an old black and white TV. Where Australian icon Mike Wenden won a tight battle with Americans Ken Walsh and a young Mark Spitz.
That inspired me to compete at two Olympics Games winning Gold with my team mates doing the butterfly leg on the Medley Relay at Moscow.
… many more sublime summer games followed as a commentator, sponsor, reporter, spectator and Olympians Club director.
This flashback series is a collection of 60 of my favourite short Olympic tales covering the past 125 years.
Please enjoy the stories, relive historical moments, remember the legends, celebrate the heroes… be inspired.
