Sydney 2000 at 25: A foundation for Australia’s Olympic future

AOC3 months ago

When Sydney staged the Olympic Games in 2000, it gave Australians a fresh vision of their biggest city, which was transformed, and of their nation united. As we celebrate the opening of those Games on 15 September, 25 years later, the Sydney 2000 legacy lives on in venues that continue to host world events, green spaces that enrich daily life, and traditions that span generations – foundations now guiding Australia as it prepares for Brisbane 2032.

The Australian Olympic Committee acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all the lands on which we are located. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.

We celebrate and honour all of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Olympians.

The Australian Olympic Committee is committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society and sport.
