Sydney, 2000: In one of the most historic and emotional moments in #Australian Olympic history, #CathyFreeman - with the host-nation's expectations weighing heavy on her shoulders - took #gold in the Women's #400meter. Days earlier, Freeman had the honor of lighting the Olympic Cauldron at the Opening Ceremony. As one of few Aboriginal athletes on the team, she became a symbol of the country's continued efforts to establish racial harmony | September 25, 2000 | 📷: adampretty /Allsport | #GettySport #Rio2016 #RoadToRio #🇦🇺#50Days50Moments
