2024 $1 Australian Paris Olympic Team PNC

Australian athletes have competed in all summer Olympic Games of the modern era. Our first Olympian was Edwin Flack, who won two gold medals and one bronze at the first modern Olympiad in Athens in 1896. Australia is one of the world's most successful sporting nations: in the last three Olympic Games Australia's aggregate medal tally has ranked us in the top 10 of all participants. Historically most medals won by Australian athletes have been in the sports of Swimming, Athletics, Cycling and Rowing, in that order.
