Cathy Freeman was an unstoppable athlete, collecting title after title, medal after medal, and earning many firsts as an Australian Aboriginal. She realized at a young age that Indigenous people were not treated the same as the rest of the Australian population. She faced challenges and oppression, but let neither stop her from achieving greatness for herself, for the nation, and for other Aboriginals. As she became widely recognized, she became a powerful symbol of unity for Australia, becoming the first Indigenous Australian to win gold at the Sydney #Olympics. Her story reinforces that the limits others try to define for you can be surpassed. #OlympicGames #Paris2024
