Peter realized his Olympic dream for the Sydney 2000 OlympicsAfter becoming involved in triathlon back in 1992, it wasn’t until 1994 that triathlon was accepted into the Olympic Movement. Although I had only been involved in the sport for a short time. The big names were already well established and had there sights firmly set on the Olympics. This didn’t discourage my dream of becoming an Olympian. Peter realized his Olympic dream for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
