Eastern Raiders Softball Club shared Softball Victoria‘s post.
#FlashbackFriday
This September marks the 17th anniversary of the XXVII Olympiad. Only the second Olympics to be hosted on Australian soil, today we take a look back at the games of the new millenium and chat to Victorian Softballer Peta Edebone who shared her memories.
What is your favourite Sydney Olympic softball memory?
PE: “There were a couple of favourite Sydney 2000 moments for me – firstly representing Australia, playing in the green & gold in front of and hearing the support and chanting of an Aussie crowd was very inspiring and such an honour. Secondly, when I equalled the then Olympic Home Run Record (4 home runs) was a very proud personal moment, but the most satisfying was standing on the dais with all my teammates when we were awarded the bronze medal. It was such an amazing experience which has bonded us forever.”
Was there a specific moment from the 2000 Olympics that you will never forget?
PE: “The opportunity to meet Nelson Mandela and shaking his hand was unforgettable. He had a beautiful presence and aura about him. His hands were so soft and his voice was confident yet calming.”
Did you have any Olympic pre game rituals?
PE: “Pre game was always spent making sure I had eaten properly, was hydrated and that I had everything that I needed for the games ready and in my bag. Then I would head to the physio room for strapping and then just try to relax by listening to music or chatting with my teammates or coaching/support staff.”
Toughest Olympic Opponent?
PE: “Team USA were the reigning Olympic Champions so they were definitely the team to beat. They came back from three losses against Japan, China and Australia to make it through to the gold medal game and win their second Olympic Gold Medal so they proved to be a tough opponent.”
Most influential mentor?
PE: “I was fortunate to have had many great mentors, coaches, support crew and friends throughout my softball career who I am eternally grateful for in helping me achieve my softball goals. The late Jill Lindsay was one of those coaches and mentors who advised, supported and "told it as it was" throughout most of my career and I am forever thankful for her honesty and guidance.”
