Ian Thorpe AM is without doubt, one of the most successful sports-people Australia has ever produced.
Ian’s accomplishments are nothing short of amazing. His record as a swimmer is extraordinary enough, as a multiple world champion, and winner of 3 Olympic Gold Medals and two Silver Medals, but there is much more to this supreme athlete.
As Young Australian of the Year, Ian Thorpe is a role model for all Australians, and his eloquence, intelligence and strength of character make him a spokesperson for his generation.
