The Sporting Post: The rule change that led to Olympic gold
Bridgette Ireland captained the Australian waterpolo team to Olympic gold in front of a home crowd in 2000, when a rule change sealed victory in the final's dying seconds.

Bridgette captained the Australian women’s waterpolo team in the Sydney 2000 Olympics - the first time the sport was played at the prestigious games - winning gold to top it off.
The Olympic champion provides insight into the dynamics and chemistry that make a successful sports team, her own journey to the Olympics, and a final second goal that led to gold medal glory.
