The club has had several members achieve selection to compete at the
Olympic Games. In 1956, just after the club was formed, Rod Johnson
& Neville Sayers were the club’s first representatives to be
selected competing in our home town games in Melbourne. Since then we
have had representatives at several Olympic Games, and in 2004 we had
our strongest representation ever with 6 club members achieving
selection for the Olympic Games.
Special mention should be made of Alex Parygin who was the Olympic
champion whilst competing for Khazakstan in Modern Pentathlon at the
Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
In 2016, Kitty Chiller once again represented Australia when she was
appointed as the Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic team.
