Associate Professor Robert Gill: Why Australians Love the Winter Olympics

Australia may be better known for beaches than snow, yet the Winter Olympics have become a familiar part of the national sporting story.

Guest: Associate Professor Robert Gill, School of Social Sciences, Media, Film and Education at Swinburne University of Technology

Presenter: Warren Andrew
