Abstract
The year 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games heldin Sydney, Australia were unique in the historyof the Games because they were staged in theearly to mid spring. This led to the concernthat pollen-sensitive athletes may havesignificant problems with allergic symptomstriggered by pollen exposure and that this mayhave compromised their ability to attain theirbest performance. Unfortunately, there was nosystematic pollen count data available for thecity of Sydney up until this time so thepurpose of this study was to obtain a profileof the pattern and type of pollens in theregion so that Olympic team managers andmedical staff could be adequately advised andable to prepare allergic athletes for anyexposures encountered while training andcompeting.
