It’s always a thrill to connect with a part of Australia’s Sporting History.
Last weekend I was the MC at a large Conference in the Hunter Valley and I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Bradbury, the winner of Australia’s first Gold Medal at an Winter Olympic event, where he famously was the “Last Man Standing” in the 1000 meter event.
Steven does a great and motivating presentation that clearly shows the long journey and enormous work that went into getting him to that point.
As I mentioned in my onstage thank-you to him ” a great example of Luck being the moment when Preparation and Opportunity collide.”
I snapped this quick shot of his Gold Medal as it sat on my lectern before the presentation.
It was very heavy, solid silver plated with gold!
