Sports

A small Sport team was established before the Sydney Olympics in 2000, at his time detailed planning of the sports programme had already begun in conjunction with most other functional areas and external bodies. In 2001 the team was divided into 4 departments (Operations, Services, Pre-Games Events and Medical), by Games time the workforce had expanded to 74 full time staff and almost 1500 volunteers.

The Sports team worked closely with functional areas to make sure that the needs of athletes and technical officials were met and that effective plans were developed for all training and competition venues.

Sport was specifically responsible for these other aspects of the Games:

· Pre-Games Testing

· Victory Ceremonies

· Sport Presentation

· Medical Services to Games Family and spectators

· Anti-Doping

Records within this area of the collection include Operational papers, meeting minutes
