Since the modern Olympic Games begin in Greece in 1896, a significant number of Olympians have come from the St George area, participating in a variety of sports.
In the lead up to the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games, a new exhibition at Hurstville Museum & Gallery will celebrate these national and local icons, to reflect on social and sporting history from the early 1900s to present day.
Striving for Gold: Olympians of St George will showcase Olympic memorabilia as well as stories from the St George area’s former Olympians, which provide a personal insight into the world’s biggest sports competition.
