Olympic “One on One” : Natalie Cook. Australian 5 time Olympian and Gold Medalist at the Syndey 2000 games with Kerry Petersen Deputy Director-General, 2032 Taskforce, Department of the Premier and Cabinet (Queensland).
Except for the 283 Australian women who competed at Sydney 2000, RIO group was the biggest in Olympic history.The last Summer Olympics held in Australia was also the cheapest in decades.
While the final cost of the Sydney games was just under $7 billion, the costs more than doubled for Athens and topped a massive $45 billion for Beijing before hovering around the $20 billion mark for the past two games. South-East Queensland bidding committee reckons they can now deliver the games for less than a quarter of this cost.
First there was the announcement of a billion-dollar revamp of Brisbane’s iconic Gabba stadium, the Prime Minister has guaranteed the Federal Government will cover half the cost for the 2032 Olympic Games, should Brisbane be confirmed as the host.
