Kapyla Club 60th Reunion

AOC11 years ago

The 1952 Australian Olympic Team - The Kapyla Club - have met every year for a reunion since the Helsinki Olympics. They are the only team in history to do so. At each reunion they sing songs, tell jokes, share stories & drink the Finnish liquor Aquavit. This video highlights some of the medal moments of the 1952 Games as well as taking a look at some of the recent reunions. Olympic legends Marjorie Jackson and Shirley Strickland are featured along with many Olympic greats from the era.
