Fiona Milne qualified for her first Olympics this year in lightweight double sculls with partner Tracy Duncan of Saskatoon. Last season she raced with Gen Meredith, who is the crew's spare, and they competed at the world championships in St. Catharines, Ont. Milne's best international result was second spot in the same event at a World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1998.  

Being in Australia won't be a new experience for Milne. In 1997 she travelled to the Land Down Under and worked as a physiotherapist. She also rowed at national events earning a bronze in single sculls that year at the Australian nationals.
