Over 50 athletes will represent Australia at the 2018 Summer Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. That number could fluctuate depending on injury, illness or other circumstances due to the qualifications for each sport.
Click for the 2018 Winter Games In PyeongChang Overview and Schedule.
Below is the full Australian Olympic Team roster, sorted by sport and gender. Each heading and gender is followed by the number of athletes in that sport and the numbers of women and men in that sport, respectively. Athletes names are followed by height, weight, age and current hometown. As Australia utilizes the metric system, the height is listed in centimeters and the weight is listed in kilograms. The conversion key from the metric system to the Imperial measurement system (utilized in the United States and in some other countries) is as follows:
*Divide centimeters by 2.54 to get feet and inches (Example: 173 cm would divide to 67.1 inches, or a shade over 5'7").
*Multiply kilograms by 2.204 to convert to pounds (Example: Multiply 65 kg by 2.204 and you get a bit over 143 pounds).
