The mural consists of figurative images of athletes in the disciplines of running, short put, racing, discus throw, javelin, pole vault, long jump and high jump. The mural is done in the style of a very old painting, the paint of which is breaking away from different places. It is as if the mural was painted during the first Olympics held in Greece. Set against the background of the ultra modern Sydney International Athletic Centre, the mural celebrates the journey and spirit of the various athletic sports into the 21^st century and the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
