Recently, I put out a call for local sporting legends in the Canberra electorate, extending my Canberra Legends Program, with the hope of discovering some hidden sporting talent. With the London Olympics upon us, I thought it would be nice to mention my first Canberra sports legend here today: 10-year-old Alex Halank is a young windsurfer born and raised in Canberra. Alex is currently in year 5 and, although Canberra is not the best or most likely location for developing windsurfing skills, he has persevered and practised.
