Cathy Freeman Running Quotations

I'm so lucky. I have such a great support system. All I have to do is run.

I was running since I was 10. Since grade one at school people looked at me and thought, oh gosh she can really run, she's a natural.

I made my first Australian senior team when I was 16, first Olympics when I was 19, and I retired. I'm 32, I retired four years ago, so a good third of my life or nearly a third of my life has been all about running.

My feelings tried to control me on my run. I had to concentrate fully on forthcoming running and success. I wanted to triumph.

I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.

I've had my fair share of being dismissed. But I'm only about to turn 30. And when I finish running, I'm going to be a dangerous woman.

My story has resonated around the world. I am just Catherine, I just like to run. And I'll run with opportunities.
