Cathy Freeman — the girl who ran fast

from Fierce Girls · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

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 carried the hopes of the nation. And during her victory lap, she carried both the Aboriginal and Australian flags, symbolising her pride in her First Nations heritage.Narrated by Australian Netball champion and #TeamGirls ambassador Laura Geitz.
