Bücher von Cathy Freeman

Cathy Freeman won her first race - the 80-metre dash at St Joseph's Primary, Mackay, Queensland - when she was eight years old. She went on to become Australia's leading athlete of the modern era. Her unforgettable win at the 2000 Sydney Olympics was the highlight of a brilliant career that has included a host of Commonwealth Games medals, two world titles and an Olympic silver medal. In July 2003, Cathy announced her retirement from athletics. Scott Gullan is an award-winning sports writer for Melbourne's Herald Sun.
