Christine's Story
Born in 1961, Christine Bridge represented Australia in sailing at the Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games in the Europe class.

Bridge finished 20th in Barcelona before improving to 11th in Atlanta, a result that brought her close to the top 10 in one of women’s sailing’s most competitive Olympic classes of the time.
