Australia was once a rank outsider in winter sport. Having first competed in Winter Olympics in 1936, it took until 1994 for our nation to make the podium (bronze in the 5000m speed skating relay) and 2002 for our first gold medal(s): skater Steve Bradbury and aerial skier Alisa Camplin.
Today, as the Milano Cortina Games draw to a close, we have watched in awe as our team celebrates a recordbreaking performance with six medals to date in moguls and aerial skiing, snowboard cross and halfpipe – including three gold!
These results defy our history, culture and climate and come on the back of extreme dedication and sacrifice, resilience and grit – characteristic of this tight-knit Aussie Winter Olympic Team.
Their achievements have many parallels with the performance of successful teams in local government.
Our athletes have challenged assumptions and reshaped what is possible, just as visionary leadership groups deliver complex community projects and outcomes to create a legacy for future generations. Where you start doesn’t define where you might finish.
Our athletes thrive in tough conditions, training and competing in unpredictable environments away from their home support systems, while LGA teams face difficult challenges including tight budgets, regulatory constraints and high community expectations. All reach their goals via preparation, adaptability and commitment. Adversity becomes a training ground for success.
While our athletes have achieved individual glory, they’ve all paid tribute to the coaches, support staff and teammates that have helped power their brilliance. In local government, leaders rely heavily on the planners, engineers, finance teams, frontline staff and other employees working hard, often behind the scenes. No podium moment is a solo act.
Many of those in action in Italy have overcome serious injuries during their careers. They crash out, then get back up and try again. We can all aspire to that kind of resilience.
A huge congratulations, not just to our latest medallists but to all the Aussies who made the start line in their event at the 2026 Winter Olympics. As we take inspiration from them back to our own teams, let’s see where that level of dedication and resilience can take us.
