Damian McDonald originally
hailed from Wangaratta, where his family continue to contribute to Victorian
Cycling. He took up membership at
Blackburn CC following a move south, and his career flourished.
He represented Australia at the 1992
Barcelona Olympics, 1994 Commonwealth Games and 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Damian was inducted as a life member of
Blackburn Cycling Club 1992. His life
was cut tragically short aged 34 in 2007 and at the time Cycling Australia CEO,
Graham Fredericks reflected;
“ Damian played a prominent role in Australia’s road cycling
high performance program in the 1990’s and was a valued member of the Australian
Road Cycling Team in World Championship, Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games
Competition. He will be sadly missed by
his many friends within the cycling community.
