When I Was 18 Years

People Could See In Me Who I Am Now, An Olympic Champ, The Best In The World.

It Is My Second Visit To Korea Since The International Junior Athletic Championships In 1992. Both Then And Now, I Felt Korea Is An Interesting Country And The People Are Very Kind.

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.

I Like Being In The Workforce; It Keeps Me Grounded.

I Don't Have A Lot Of Regrets In My Life.
