Episode Synopsis

Gosper describes the period as the most remarkable in his life. As senior vice president of the IOC he attends the inauguration of Nelson  Mandela as South Africa president. Sydney 2000 wins the right to host the games, expunging long term disappointment he had held since bungling his individual 400 metre race in Melbourne 1956. Gosper's loyalty is questioned, and political tensions between Australia's IOC members emerge. Support the show
