Cathy Freeman — the girl who ran fast - a podcast by ABC Radio

As a little girl, Catherine Freeman had one dream — to go to the Olympic Games. Luckily, she could run fast. Really fast. So fast, she not only went to the Olympics, she won a Gold medal in the 400m race in Sydney! When she sprinted across the finish line ahead of everyone else, she became the very first Aboriginal Australian to win an individual Olympic gold medal and one of the fastest women of all time.

Narrated by Australian Netball champion and #TeamGirls ambassador Laura Geitz.
