The AUS Contenders website will feature a new athlete each weekday until late 2011/early 2012, to coincide with the first Australian athletes being selected for the London Olympics.
Andrew Reid, Website Producer & Coordinator, Communications, said, “By providing captions for the AUS Contenders videos we can better spread the message of sport for all. The captions have made our videos accessible to a wider audience and now more people can engage with Australia’s finest athletes and follow their journeys to London 2012.”
The videos show athletes talking about their goals, setbacks, motivation, previous Olympics experience and training regimes. “The Australian Olympic Committee aims to promote the Olympic ideals and values to all through sport, said Reid. “With the AUS Contenders video magazine, people of all ages and backgrounds can draw inspiration from the athletes striving to compete on the Australian Olympic Team in 2012.”
The captioned videos will be archived on the site for the entire Games period.
