UTS: Athens

UTS is making a significant contribution to the Athens games. Twelve UTS athletes have been selected to compete in areas that include slalom canoeing, fencing and of course male and female rowing. Behind the scenes there is noteworthy activity with staff involved in activities as diverse as refereeing, providing telecommunications support, acting as program manager for the Australian organising committee and cheering on family members competing.

These pages have been put together to share the experiences of athletes and staff involved in the 2004 games with the UTS community.

The contributors listed below have volunteered to send us reports when they are not busy training, competing or working and are able to access the internet.
