Best Answer

Australia has been competing in the modern Olympics since its beginning - 1896. However, that first year, there was just one athlete from Australia. His name was Edward Flack, he was born in England was living in England in 1896; however, since he had resided in Australia for most of his life, he was considered suitably qualified as an "Australian" to be Australia's representative.
