Notes

When the winners of the Sydney 2000 Games received their medals, they were also presented with a bouquet of flowers, and a copy of this poster. It shows the Olympic medallists with the Opera House in the background. The flowers came from different parts of Australia, which reflected the organisers’ environmental concerns.
