This woman carried Australia on her back across the finish line . She will never be forgotten .
Without a doubt that is one the best moments in Australian sporting history.
+El Australiano 2006 AFL gf
It's between that or Americas cup
Im not Australian. But I remember I was 10 then and I want her to win so much. The media really did hype her up.
El Australiano NATIVE AUSTRALIAN. NOT INVADERS.
Lionel Witherspoon what you want me to do? Get on a boat and go back to 'wherever' my ancestors came from? How is my fault I was born here?
One of the greatest moments not only in Australian sporting history, but a great moment as a nation as a whole. For that special 50 odd seconds every single Australian was cheering as one people.
With the weight of an entire nation on her shoulders she came through with the goods. You go girl! So proud.
This was one of the best moments in sporting history. I still get goosebumps watching it 14 years on! Not only was Freeman an exceptionally talented athlete physically but she was also able to absorb the extraordinary pressure she was under to win this race on her home soil. Freeman is still number 6 (her 1996 run in Atlanta) on the all-time 400m list and all of the women ahead of her on that list (with the exclusion of Marie Jose Perec) were from Eastern Europe with times recorded pre-1985 when drug use was rampant and unmonitored.
Conversations With Strangers well thats my assignment done. XD
i still watch this 20 years later even though i wasn't born when it actually happened live.
I cant tell you how much you inspire me....You Are AMAZING...Come on everyone what a LEGEND, from the heart of AUSTRALIA she is and will always be the running drive behind change, influence and the evolution of a nation, running on the energy of personal commitment, sacrifice and influence....you are an individual of amazing talent and character...Cathy I Salute you.
Great to watch this again since I was there live!
My journey to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games from Sweden is one of the high lights of my life. I was strucked by all the kindness I met from all the people and I was strucked by Cathy Freeman popularity! I realized that I've bought THE ticket of the games when I tried to trade it for the table tennis finals. An Aussie girl told I me to keep it and go to the stadium for the experience of my life. Because all Australia was expecting their most popular athlete to win this gold medal. No one was going to miss it! And she was right. The stadium was crowded to the last seat! I've never heard 128.000 people roar and scream at the same time before. And all the camera flashes witch followed her along the track. It was truly magic. This still gives med goosebumps.
I am so proud of Cathy. It still brings tears to my eyes. She probably wouldn’t remember me, but i am the same age as her and we played together on Palm Island. My mum was a Bahai and i would go with her when she travelled from the mainland to visit indigenous Bahais. We also had prayer services on the beach in Mackay. Would have been late 1970s. I have fond memories of those days with the indigenous ❤
The Aboringal Olympic heroine Kathy Freeman. Not many can run with so much expectation on their shoulders, let alone win. This is in my top 10 Olympic moments. #Class
Hello I'm from colombian, when happened this event, I was on 5 years old, But I want to say is great what Cathy Freeman done in 400 metres!
I never have seen one country backing their competitors like a Australians done with Cathy Freeman.
most powerful event in Sydney olympic
I’ve never heard a crowd make a noise like that at any sporting event. Utterly amazing.
The build up as she enters the final straight gives me chills every time
A huge thanks to the official olympic channel for uploading videos from the past olympic games
22 yrs later its still a moment in history that will never be forgotten. Now her 11yr daughter is tipped to follow her mothers foot steps.
A great Champion,a Great Australian.
It's a shame it wasn't a World Record but that doesn't matter she made the 22 or 23 million people who call Australia home VERY proud of her and I would just like to say one more thing:
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI!!!!!!!!!!!!
She mentions that in her book. She glanced at the time and was disappointed that she hadn’t ran faster! You see the look on her face in the video.
Then she becomes aware of the screaming, cheering crowd.
Cathy is a goddess. One of the most iconic events in Australian history ever.
15 years later I still get chills.
My heart swells when watching this, not to mention my eyes leaking
Everyone loves cathy, shes so inspirational and an amazing role model.
I don't love Cathy
The best Olympics i watched,i was 11 years old and i remember this moment like it happened yesterday
i love this so much. she's such an inspiration.
O momento Olímpico que vem a minha mente sempre. 22 anos depois e ainda me emociono. Lenda! Amor e respeito do Brasil. 🇦🇺🤝🏻🇧🇷
The Olympic moment that always comes to my mind. 22 years later and I still get emotional. Legend! Love and respect from Brazil. 🇦🇺🤝🏻🇧🇷
OMG... that crowd must be deafening to competitors. Can observe that all field events paused for a brief moment before continuing and a officials turned to the track to watch the race. What a moment! She's a 🐐. One of the legend of the sport
a legend was going away and in that same track another legend of the athletics was born the great Ana guevara
She ran for her country and won..and that's all that matters. She's still one of the greatest role-models for indigenous people everywhere. Go Cathy!!
I get goosebumps every time I watch this.
What a great Olympics, this being arguably the best moment. Bravo Aussies.
I still tear up when i watch this.
I was there and the feeling was amazing
super glad to see those Aboriginal flags in the audience
go cathy! would have loved to hear more of the crowd's cheers after. can't beat a home win like this
One of Australia's greatest sporting and a great moment as a nation as a whole, every Aussie, white, black, pink or purple for that moment it all meant nothing. We were actually all one people for 49 seconds
And then she draped two flags over her shoulders and showed the world the division.
imowtflol Listen to the crowd, who cares about the flags except for small minded bigots and racists. Crawl back into your smug little corner and continue to think what Daddy told you...there's a good little chap
Fuckwit. Get a life loser
That's fine. Nobody cares what you think
a real Australian my all time fav Olympic moment.
Juantorena, Freeman and Moses; experts of the long stride.
Sydney & World 2000, What a Great time .
Who would ever forget that race? ❤
This race still makes me weep. Talk about winning for your homeland. My goodness.
@rcaddict72 What a ridiculous comment! It was an Olympic record - hardly "pedestrian" or "the slowest 400m womens (sic) finals (sic) for a looong (sic) time"! Learn your history, learn to spell and learn some respect. Cathy Freeman was and is a great Australian athlete and a fantastic role model for young people, especially indigenous youngsters. She deserves enormous respect for withstanding the enormous pressure she was under - and with an Olympic record to boot was phenomenal!
Brilliant archives there. This makes me weep
The biggest cheer and applaude this country has ever made was because of a first nations women.. ❤⭐️🖤
Still sends a shiver down my spine...
Still gives me goose bumps.
She is a legend
One word: AWESOME
The 2nd Olympic gold medal to an Australian aborigine.
The 1st was awarded to a close friend of Cathy's the Olympics before.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes Nova Peris hockey 🏑
The greatest night
she ran for her country . And she me us PROUD .
Cathy you beautiful legend !!!!!
Wow que expectacular, el estadio lleno, el griterío y la adrenalina
The best Games ever !
She is so inspiring 😃
She ran to win not to timing.
And she won.
Period.
I was 8 years old when i watched this and i remember mum dad crying saying to deadly! Lol
Favorite Sports Moment Ever!!!!!!!!!!
I Love Ana Guevara #1 mexican
still the holds the fastest time in an olympics final in 16 years and she holds the 2nd fastest time in olympic history
❤❤❤❤ Cathy Freeman 2024
2022❤
what a Champion
Incredible
110,000 people cheering Katherine Merry to Bronze
A proud moment for all Aboriginal people; the true, real and only Australians.
That's right!
I'm not indigenous but I couldn't agree more. I am so sorry for the way we have treated the real Australians
Matthew Filnders named the country Terra Australis or Australia in 1804, so no the aboriginals cannot claim to be 'Australians' at all. Wave your flag around and call yourselves whatever you called yourself before it was settled you buffoon.
The Olympics are designed to bring people together and not divide them. How can we have reconciliation if you keep playing the blame game? Enjoy the moment and leave the politics out of it.
If it wasn’t for the white man aboriginals would still be living in the dirt trying to invent the wheel....
White men built Australia so therefore aren’t they the true Australians?
why the Olympic Official allowed Cathy Freeman' s wearing body suit?. I think that must have been advantage against the wind. Even though she is the favorite to be a winner since her rival France member denied to show off.
Yeah, i remember Perec escape. A great runner but also victim of her emotions
Anyone else could have worn one, it's not like they made her the exception
I perfectly remember this race for 2 reasons: A great symbol for Australia and the weird absence of Marie José Perec.
Best moments
Fastest woman in the world ⚡️
Bloody good race
Es Ana Guevara la del carril 5?
It is a gold medal for Cathy Freeman and all Aboriginal girls.
waouh
as a kiwi, I was crying after that race... unbelievable memory.
we are doing a project in school about her :D
I guess nobody will remember the press hounding Marie Jo Perec out of the country so Cathy was a shoe in to win.I wanted a fair race but politics got in the way.
Marie left cause she was scared of cathy
Cathy had beaten her in everything leafing to these games
She didn't fly half the way around the world to just leave because she was scared.She would never have jumped on the plane in the first place.I just wanted a fair race.
Yeah. I thought they would have won the gold and silver medals. I truly can't say who'd have won gold. Though I wanted Marie to. Cathy was the bookies pick before Sydney.
+Bluemts expose Heavy Drug Testing. Perec rumored to be a drug cheat. She was asked to be tested. She knew she was dirty...so she left.
Perec is a well known loon and had barely run since 1996. To take her crazy stories with anything other than a huge grain of salt is delusional.
crowd noise is unbelievable
@rcaddict72 oppose to foreign athletes competing in their own timezone, climate and backyard? Okay.
If France had her for these Olympics (2024) , they'd ban her from running in that costume!
ANA GUEVARA MÉXICO PRESENTE
My mother had won the competition!!!!
super
OMG ANA GUEVARA
Why was she wearing that suit?
+Patrick Lopez To be streamline. It was very popular in the late 80s early 90s.
+tangomikemike Huh?
Google "florence griffith joyner suit". If you don't know who Flo Jo was, ask your Mother or Father
So she quit right after that olympic medal?
debordelful Nah she stopped running after 2003
what's she wearing, and why?
I still get so nervous for her....
:L hehe.
Sweet as..
Waaa Ana Guevara !!!
not as good as Atlanta 1996
@caravaggio31 u dont get it either do you? the point is that yes, she won, great... BUT when olympics come to the southern hemisphere, the rest of the worlds athletes perform well under par, and the women;s 400m is in a period where its the worst strength ever. that doesnt take anything away from her winning, but it does take alot away from her being revered as a "great athlete"..which she arguably is not. a good athlete- yes. assisted by the olympics in her timezone, climate and backyard- sure.
Super flog
its a sprint-suit and its so she's more aerodynamic so she'll go faster
☑️☑️☑️
My brothers were at home getting drunk after this happened - oops cant say that ,edit that out we don't want to be politically incorrect now - hehehehehehe - (smug look)
Why was she running with a hood on?
Apenas empezaba a figurar una Ana Guevara
No , ya hera figura y por esta mujer no pudo ganar el oro quedando en segundo lugar , es lo que le falto a Guevara el oro en los olimpicos , ya que gano muchas competencias antes
Yaaaaaaaaaawn!
adimanav
C'est quoi ces fringues ridicules !!
hooray for slight genetic differences! Yaaay!
what do you mean by that
What tribe of aborigine is Cathy Freeman from
She's overweight and diabetic now.
Just pointing out the obvious that's all. She clearly hasn't been looking after herself very well, and may suggest that the stresses and strains of being a professional athlete took its toll on her, but that's no way to negect your health and well-being.
