On this day 20 years ago, the world was watching Sydney for the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Today on The Briefing, we’re reliving the Sydney Olympic glory including some of the most iconic moments across the Games.

The Sydney 2000 Olympics were our biggest ever medal haul to date, so we ask if our sporting heyday is behind us? And how do we get back to our former sporting best? To answer these questions we're joined by Andrew Gaze (basketballer and flag bearer) and Kerri Pottharst (gold medalist in beach volleyball).
