The Smallest International Newspaper in the world for 2 weeks. It was my great pleasure to be seconded to these Olympics,
The hospitality of the Dutch was simply outstanding. The City of Amsterdam completely revamped all its transport terminals to cater for all EAD team members. The Olympic Village showed great hospitality to the Australian Team and we will never forget the kindness and friendships made whilst there,
particularly, with the hamburgers and onions made especially for us at 2am in the morning. !!
Upon my return to Australia many of the track sprinters joined my able body Squad where I was able to develop new skills for all Sprinters based on the faults which needed correction for these athletes.

Magnificent medals from a magnificent country. One of my best memories was going for a training run through the woods, when we came across a tiny cottage.Simply astounded thinking we were in a fairy tale - the front door opened and we were invited in for lunch, with the couple saying " welcome," we heard you were here. !!!
