Summary White Gold explores Australia's long and winding road in winter sports, from the early efforts of hardy pioneers, to our first World Cup medallists and, eventually, our Olympic champions like Steven Bradbury, Alisa Camplin, Dale Begg-Smith, Lydia Lassila and Torah Bright and our world champions, like Kirstie Marshall, Jacqui Cooper, Britt Cox, Matt Graham, Laura Peel and others who have achieved so much on snow and ice. White Gold also chronicles the foundations of the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia and the people and events behind it. To do that, it profiles all the athletes who have succeeded on the world stage - each Australian winter sports athlete to have stood on an Olympic, World Championships or World Cup podium. Introduction by John Coates and athletes' introduction by Lydia Lassila.
