Australian icon Cathy Freeman has taken fans inside the inner workings of her mind on that historic night in Sydney, almost 24 years ago. With almost every eyeball on the planet fixated on her, Freeman wrote herself into Australian and Olympic folklore when she stormed home to win the women’s 400m final on her home turf at the 2000 Games.
Cathy Freeman admits to ‘really vulnerable’ moment before Olympic gold. It was, and very much still is, regarded as possibly the greatest moment in the history of Australian sport as the then 27-year-old carried the hopes of a nation on her shoulders. Appearing on The Front Bar on Thursday night, the Aussie treasure took fans into her mindset before, during and after the race.
