Australia's Olympic century began with the first modern games at Athens in 1896. Edwin Flack won two gold medals and commenced the unbroken Australian tradition of competition and success in the Olympics that extends to Kieren Perkins at Atlanta 1996, and beyond to Sydney 2000. The great names from Australia and the Olympic world are depicted in their triumphant and tragic Olympic moments. Their deeds are recorded in concise, evocative words and each Games' coverage includes the results of every event. As the countdown to Sydney Games in 2000 quickens, 'Australia's Olympic Century' recalls the magic of a century of Olympic moments in over 850 pictures.
