TEAM: Australia has now won 10 Olympic winter medals and has had an athlete on the podium at six consecutive Games.
Australia winning medals at the Olympic Winter Games dates back to Lillehammer in 1994 and that famous Short Track Speed Skating 5000m relay bronze to Steven Bradbury, Kieran Hansen, Andrew Murtha and Richard Nizielski.
Zali Steggall then showed the world that Australians can ski, with Slalom bronze at Nagano 1998.
In 2002 the gold rush began and gained global media attention. Bradbury won Australia’s first gold with an unforgettable ‘last man standing’ in a dramatic 1000m Short Track final at Salt Lake City. Days later Alisa Camplin spun her way to Aerials gold, and in to the hearts of the nation.
