Dual Olympic Champion with the Hockeyroos, Katrina Powell relives her gold medal moments at Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 that she shared with her sister and teammate Lisa.
She remembers the electric atmosphere of competing at Sydney Olympic Park in front of all her family and friends, and how former Hockeyroos coach, Ric Charlesworth, had to keep the team level-headed as they felt the pressure of competing at a home Games as the reigning Olympic Champions.
