What a successful Olympic Games. As we reflect on Australia's performance at the Paris Olympics, it's clear our athletes have once again showcased exceptional talent and determination on the global sporting stage. With a mix of seasoned champions and emerging talent, Australia made a significant impact continuing our proud tradition of sporting excellence. Team Australia walked away with 53 medals, including 18 gold medals, 19 silver and 16 bronze, and finished in fourth place. This is a tremendous effort from all athletes, coaches and everyone involved.

Each and every one of our athletes demonstrated exceptional teamwork and strategic prowess. Each event was a testament to the rigorous preparation and commitment of our athletes, and their dedication and hard work have not only brought home gold but have also inspired a new generation of athletes. Whether it was in kayaking, skateboarding, cycling, tennis, athletics, BMX, sailing, shooting, equestrian, surfing, of course swimming or any sport, we did exceptionally well. As we celebrate these successes, we also look forward to future Olympic challenges, confident that our Australian athletes will continue to shine brightly on the world stage. Bring on LA in 2028 and Brisbane in 2032.
