Good news for Australian Paralympic Team
By Australian Paralympic Committee:
Athletics is Australia’s most successful sport at the Paralympic Games to date, yielding 145 gold, 139 silver and 131 bronze medals since it was introduced at the first Paralympics in Rome 1960.
“Australia has a strong and proud history in athletics at the Paralympic Games with some of our most memorable sporting moments taking place on the athletics track and in the field,” said Jason Hellwig, APC Chief Executive and 2012 Team Chef de Mission.
“Athletics will be our biggest sport in London and of the athletes selected today; there is an equal mix of youth, experience and of course, a wealth of talent.
“This is a very young team with 22 of the athletes so far selected under the age of 25. Not only do we expect this team to perform well in London but we know that this team has the talent and longevity to perform well at Rio 2016 and beyond.”

After the International Triathlon Union’s (ITU) two-year Olympic qualification period officially ended last week, ITU yesterday began notifying the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and National Federations (NFs) of the number of spots each has qualified on women’s and men’s start lists at London 2012.
In all, a record number of 39 NOCs had qualified spots at the triathlon competition for London 2012, the highest number ever for triathlon at an Olympic Games. In Beijing 2008, there were 36 NOCs that had qualified positions. Prior to that, there were 33 in Athens 2004 and 34 in Sydney 2000, although in those Olympics, there were 50 women and 50 men on the start lists as opposed to 55 now.
Among the 39 NOCs this year, five have qualified a spot for the first time in the history of triathlon at the Olympic Games, including: Ecuador, Mauritius, Monaco, Republic of Korea, and Slovenia.
The Eight NOCs were able to qualify the maximum of three women and those are: United States, Australia, Great Britain, Japan, France, Germany, New Zealand and Spain.
