More quotes by Cathy Freeman
You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.
Cathy Freeman

The last sort of really low-key race I ran, I realized with about a hundred metres to go, that my heart just wasn't in it. I wasn't trying my hardest, I didn't care to compete against the girls I was up against. That spoke a lot about where my heart was taking me-which was off the track.

The Athens Olympics will be meaningful even though I cannot participate as an athlete, since I can participate in the flame relay all over the world.
Cathy Freeman
Twenty seconds before a race, there's absolute focus. The key thing is to achieve relaxation, but at the same to have absolute total control. You've got to find the balance between being totally ready to go and being really at peace with yourself as well.
Cathy Freeman
My feelings tried to control me on my run. I had to concentrate fully on forthcoming running and success. I wanted to triumph.
Cathy Freeman
I'd like to see as many sports as I can because I have never had the chance to enjoy the other sports in the past.
Cathy Freeman
I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.
Cathy Freeman
The thing I do best is laugh.
Cathy Freeman
My mind is pretty made up that life for Cathy Freeman will be as an unmarried woman from now on.

I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.
Cathy Freeman
Peace, unity and harmony!
