What is your Olympic story? |
Helen - Mother and teacher with disabilities
"I'm looking forward to coming back to Sydney next year to see my daughter and son in law.
Last year when I visited, we had to take taxis everywhere because I couldn't climb
the stairs at the train stations. The new lifts my daughter tells me about sound great.
I'll really be able to get about and see some of the places in Sydney that I couldn't get to last time."
Keryn - dancer
"Last year when we had our national competition, I danced in one of the Olympic venues. It was a great
facility. The train station at Olympic Park looks like a Swiss airport terminal. Quite mind blowing.
I'm sure it's going to be better during the Olympics, but when I was there, we couldn't find out where to go.
There was no one around and no signs. It was a huge distance between the places. We ended up catching a lift
in the back of the Security Guard's Ute."
Ibrahim - Chef
"I thought with Olympics coming that there would be lots of jobs. I'm waiting to hear back at the moment from a new place
at the Wharf. None of them seem to be taking on any staff though. They all panicked about having enough chefs for the
Olympics and they don't want to let anyone go in case they can't find anyone in September. The trouble is, everyone thought
there would be lots more people in town by now and it isn't happening."
