“SPRINTER”

The sprinter sculpture was designed by artist Dominique Sutton and commissioned for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The sculpture is 16 meters high and weighs more than 8 tonnes. The sculpture was part of a set of three sculptures located on top of Centre Point Tower. The other two sculptures were then relocated to Canberra after the Games, however the Sprinter has found a new home in Sydney Olympic Park.

I have wanted to get this for quite some time, and this afternoon was time…. The air was still (forecasted otherwise), so off I went… However, when I got there, it was far from still, and having to dodge 11KVA meant I had issues, so want I REALLY want, will now have to wait a little longer - stay tuned!
