Moment

of the

Year Award

Esposito’s Rio 2016

gold medal put modern

pentathlon front and

centre. It was a

triumph that no one

saw coming. Before

Rio 2016, Esposito was

ranked outside the top

100, and had missed

most of the season due

to injuries. But that

didn’t stop her from

making an incredible

sprint for the finish – it

was unforgettable, the

first time Australia has

ever won an Olympic

medal in the sport.WH
