Fun Facts | Impressive stats from NSWIS on the Goldie

There were some big efforts at the Commonwealth Games which made up the NSW Institute of Sport’s strong medal haul of 22 gold, 16 silver and 9 bronze.

On the running track or around the streets of the Gold Coast, 13 NSWIS athletes ran or pushed a huge distance of 116,500m. It’s more than twice the distance of all the beaches on the Gold Coast combined!

Four NSWIS cyclists peddled a distance of 143,650m – equating to a whopping 24 times around the Bathurst 1000 race track.

Our swimmers swam the distance of the Sydney Harbour Bridge just under five times, ten athletes contributing to a swim of 5500m.
