Australian Institute of Sport History - Behind the News

It’s been a great Olympic year for Australia, with our athletes keeping the country near the top of the medal tally. We’re pretty used to outperforming some other, much bigger, countries in the Olympics. But it hasn’t always been that way. Jack finds out about the year Australia won no gold medals at all and how that led to the establishment of the Australian Institute of Sport - one of the world’s leading sport’s training facilities.
