Sally Robbins was a gifted athlete who managed to show so much promise, she was selected for the Australian Olympic rowing team. Although they were outsiders to medal at the Athen's games, the team had got themselves within half a second of the leaders.

What had happened? Why had they thrown away the lead? Who or what was responsible?

This is the story of Lay Down Sally, Athens 2004.
