Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, Athens, Greece

It gives me pride and pleasure to introduce this comprehensiveguide to the membership of Australia's team for the 2004Olympic Games in Athens. It is a talented team, the largest thisnation has ever sent away, and we have high hopes that it willbe among the most successful at these Games. Its statedmission, in fact, is to finish among the top five nations in theoverall medal tally - an objective that is clearly within itscompetence, given performances during the past year.

Every Olympic Games becomes a piece of history - but there isalready an extra significance to this year's, which return themodern Games to both the city of their birth and the land oftheir ancient beginnings. It was in 1896 that Athens played hostto a modest but ambitious competition that signalled the revivalof Greece's Ancient Olympics. An all-male total of 245 athletesfrom 15 countries competed in nine sports. The founder of themodern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, had a vision: he wantednot only to renew those Games of a thousand years before, butto see the modern version of them endure, and prosper. Theyhave done so - to such a degree that 10,500 athletes from 201countries will be competing this time in 28 Olympic sports,watched by a global television audience of four billion. Andindications are that close to 40 per cent of them will be female.

Australia can take great satisfaction in the knowledge that ithas, like Greece, competed in every Games of the modern era.In that time we have won a total of 349 Olympic medals, 104of them gold. As someone who is privileged to be leading theAustralian team for the fifth consecutive time, I feel proud thattwo of our competitors in Athens - the horseman Andrew Hoyand the sailor Colin Beashel - are about to embark on theirsixth Olympics. Another three - the archer Simon Fairweather

and the rowers Mike McKay and James Tomkins - will bemaking it five in a row. Another strong reason for pride is thefact that, with the exception of handball, Australia has qualifiedfor every sport on the Olympic program. And not only that: wehave also qualified for 11 team sports in Athens … more thanany other nation apart from the host country, Greece.

We had tremendous success at the Sydney Games, with 58medals, 16 of them gold, and a fourth-place medal tally.Historically, many host nations have tended to perform quite alot worse in the following Games. On form, I believe we can beconfident that Australia will reverse that trend. Thanks to thesupport of the Australian Government and the Australian, stateand the territory Institutes of Sport direct to our member sportsand athletes; the $26 million of income from our SydneyOlympic Games' legacy; our many world-wide and nationalsponsors; and, the fundraising efforts of our State OlympicCouncils' Team Appeal Committees, this is a wonderfully well-prepared team.

I believe it will make all of us very proud, and will honour thespirit of our first Olympian, Edwin Flack, who also went toAthens with high hopes.

Australia at the Olympic Games

Figures in brackets denote the number of officials.1. Since the 1964 Olympic Games, the Olympic Charter designation of Chef de Mission has been adopted.

2. Competed with New Zealand as Australasia. Figures do not include New Zealand.3. Figures do not include several sections of the team that withdrew over the boycott issue. (The team totalled 204 athletes and 69

officials when announced. Australia was not represented in equestrian, hockey and yachting).

The two flag-bearers at Moscow were to symbolise unity. Australia, like a number of European countries, did not march behind itsnational flag but behind that of the International Olympic Committee.

Author’s Note: Although all winners are generally accorded gold-medal status, gold medals for winners were not introduced until 1904.In 1896 winners received olive branch crowns, diplomas and silver medals. In 1900 prizes for amateurs consisted of objets d’art, often

sculptures, and professionals like Donald Mackintosh received prize money plus a souvenir medal.

Our own Lion of AthensIt was in the old, marble Panathinaiko Stadium, venue forthe archery events at this year's Athens Olympics, thatAustralia's first assault on the Modern Olympic Games waslaunched. The year was 1896, the stadium was a brand,spanking new showpiece, and the Australian contingent atthe first of the new Olympics consisted of one youngmiddle-distance runner from Melbourne, Edwin Flack. Hewasn't strictly representing Australia, because the nation hadnot then been born. He came from one of a loose collectionof colonies, a group that would not be federated until 1901,and he chose to run at the Games in the dark-blue vests ofhis old school, Melbourne Grammar, and his home-town club,the Melburnian Hare and Hounds.

Flack, 21, was studying accountancy at the time in London.He took a month's leave to travel to Athens, rented a roomthere with an English friend, George Robertson, thenembarked on what turned out to be the most exciting weekof his life. In that marble stadium he won a heat and final ofthe 800 metres, as well as the sudden-death 1500 metres.Then, on a euphoric high, he tackled the marathon --- adistance he had never run before --- and for a while lookedlike winning it. He was leading at the 34-kilometre markuntil he began to stagger, then finally collapsed. The race,won by the Greek Spiridon Louis, finished in thePanathinaiko Stadium, just as this year's marathon will. Atthe end of the week Flack was being followed everywhereby adoring crowds, who had taken to calling him "the Lionof Athens".

Athens, with a population of 80,000 spread mainly aroundthe Acropolis, was something of a carnival town thatspringtime, and Flack was a joyous, have-a-go competitor. Incompany with his pal Robertson, he tried his hand in thetennis competition, although neither had great skill at thegame. Both lost their first-round singles matches, andtogether they were beaten in their only doubles encounter.But because only five pairs entered the doubles, and theirfirst-round opponents did not turn up, their only matchbecame in effect a semi-final. They have thus been accordedthe status of bronze medallists.

Edwin Flack, who died in 1935, was Australia's true Olympicpioneer. He was the first hero: the first to compete, the firstto win. Moreover, his unheralded appearance in Athens gaveAustralians their first real awareness of the existence of theOlympic Games. Australia is rightly proud of its rare,unbroken link with the Olympics, ever since their birth. It'stimely just now to remember that it is a record which simplycould not have existed without that modest young man, ourown Lion of Athens.
