And the winner is Sydney! In fact, it is Penrith, my home town, the Olympic city for the canoeing and rowing events in the Sydney Olympic Games, the city of champions. This is worth celebrating today, Olympic Day. We have one of our own champions, Jessica Fox, going for gold after getting a bronze and a silver medal. She's a hometown girl. She comes from Leonay and Leonay Public School is here today. All of our athletes have fought so hard to get to these Olympic Games during the pandemic. They truly embody the Olympic creed, the most important thing in life is not to triumph but to fight. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! (Time expired)
