Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics
Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics was represented by Australian
Olympic Committee (AOC) and abbreviated AUS. 482 athletes from Australia
competed in all sports except for Handball in Athens.
Australia first competed in the Olympics in 1896, and is one of only two countries to
have sent athletes to every Summer Olympic Games. In 1908
and 1912, Australia and New Zealand entered a combined team named Australasia.
Australia entered the Athens Games having won a total of 58 medals, including 16 gold, as the host of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Its strongest sports were swimming, cycling and rowing.
Colin Beashel was Australia's
flag bearer in the opening
ceremony. Australia's national anthem, "Advance
Australia Fair", was played when the country won a gold medal.
A list of the members of the Australian Olympic team follows. Names in bold are medal winners.
