A biography for Cathy Freemanhasn’t been written yet.
“I made my first Australian senior team when I was 16, first Olympics when I was 19, and I retired. I'm 32, I retired four years ago, so a good third of my life or nearly a third of my life has been all about running.”
“With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.”
“I definitely do things on my terms, it may not seem that way but I actually do.”
“I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.”
“People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.”
“The thing I do best is laugh.”
“I lie around the floor with my cats Billy and Jazz or watch DVDs with my best friends.”
“I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.”
“I like looking feminine and I enjoy being a role model. I enjoy being a woman. It all comes down to having the confidence to be who you are.”
“You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.”
