Cathy Freeman Retires

Cathy has hung up her running shoes today.

""no longer has the fire in the belly""

 

IMO The Sydney olympic gold medal and lighting the flame etc ..to much for her to cope with and all downhill from there.

 

Also private life has been in turmoil over last year or so.

 

All the best cathy...thanks for the medals :up:

I'm a big track fan (ran in college) and a fan of hers. What was going on in her private life?

 

I know she was under pressure to politicize her fame to address the Aboriginal issue. Not sure if I could carry the Olympic hopes of my nation on my back like she did without going insane.

 

I hope she made some money and is at least financially secure.

Had a very public break up with boyfriend/manager.

And he wanted money for past deals he did on her behalf etc...very messy stuff.
