It was great to address the opening of the Regional Academies of Sport Games, hosted by the Southern Sports Academy here in Wagga Wagga for the second year running.

Incredibly, regional academies across NSW have produced athletes that have gained 31% of Australia's Olympic medals at the last two games! WOW!

All of the participating athletes marched in the opening ceremony, and I was able to snap this awesome shot of all of the athletes while speaking.

Events have been happening all weekend, with another full program on today.
