Plot summary This is the outline of the story as it appears on the cover of the 1999 book edition Sydney has become the prime destination for the world s athletes as the 2000 Olympic Games approach. Teenage Stace Lukovic has been identified as a potential Australian swimming medallist. With some of the best training and coaching facilities in the world, her chances of success are good.
