The International Olympic Committee has hosted the Winter Olympic Games since 1924, with the first event held in Chamonix, France. Athletes renowned for their supremacy on the snow and ice have captivated spectators, becoming heroes through their dedication and sporting excellence.
While the event might seem like an odd match for the Australian lifestyle of sun and surf, our country has sent athletes to the Winter Olympics since 1936. As part of the Australian spirit of facing new opportunities and giving everything a go, our athletes have participated with admirable spirit and determination.
After many years Australia first earned a place on the medal tally in 1994, when the men’s 5000 metres short track relay speed skating team won bronze. Two gold medals finally came Australia’s way in 2002, contributing to our total of 13 Winter Olympic medals.

- A celebration of Australia’s participation in the XXIII Winter Olympic Games
