Today marks the sad passing of Olympic athletics champion, Betty Cuthbert at the age of 79 who lost her fight with the disease, multiple sclerosis. She was known as Australia’s first golden girl of the track and was part of Australia’s Track and Field Team at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games. Cuthbert won the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100 metres relay events at the Melbourne Olympics and the 400 metres, eight year later at the Tokyo Olympics. She will be remembered as a great champion.
Yeseo mentioned in his post that he loves ice skating. Steven Bradbury, the most humble champion you'll ever meet, achieved the unimaginable. His victory was the culmination of 12 years of total commitment to his sport. What a great champion! What a legend!
