Madison at the 2000 Sydney Olympics
Date: July 30, 2014 / Posted by Glenn Mitchell
Australia entered the 2000 Sydney Olympics having not won a gold medal on the velodrome since the Los Angeles Games in 1984. The drought was broken when Brett Aitken and Scott McGrory triumphed in the Madison, an event making its Olympic debut in Sydney. My first call of an Australian Olympic gold medal.

I am 56 years of age and never had to endure the horrors of war ... never experience the trenches & the fear ... never saw mates cut down ... some had no choice ... they deserve nothing but respect and to have their memories honoured. Lest We Forget. #ANZACDay
