To celebrate the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, AMP commissioned Sydney sculptor Dominique Sutton to design three figures representing the Olympic and Paralympic ideals. The three figures, depicting a gymnast, a Paralympic basketballer and a sprinter, were airlifted and installed atop the AMP Tower in July 1998, becoming a focal point of celebrations in the lead up to and during the Games.

Each sculpture weighs 3.5 tonnes and is an impressive 16 metres high three dimensional steel rendition of an elite athlete. The sprinter captured at the instant of maximum speed, it is an iconic image of movement. The Paraolymoic basketball about to shoot the winning goal and the Gymnast held in a graceful handstand.

The Sprinter has been relocated as the gateway piece to Sydney Olympic Park. AMP donated the other two sculptures — a gymnast and a Paralympic basketballer — to the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra.
