Freeman began athletics at a very young age. Her first coach was her stepfather, Bruce Barber. By her early teens she had a collection of regional and national titles, having competed in the [[100 metres]], 200 metres, [[high jump]] and [[long jump]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}

In 1987, Freeman moved on to [[Kooralbyn International School]] to be coached professionally by Romanian Mike Danila, who became her first real coach and later a key influence throughout her career; he provided a strict training regime for the young athlete.<ref>[http://living.oneindia.in/celebrity/sports/kathy-freeman-profile-olympic-games.html Cathy Freeman: The athletic proud of Australia] {{dead link|date=November 2011}}</ref><ref name="telegraph">{{cite news |publisher=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/athletics/2996526/Athletics-Making-of-a-legend.html |title=Athletics: Making of a legend |author=[[Sebastian Coe]] |date=14 January 2001 |accessdate=21 April 2008| location=London}}</ref><ref name="news">{{cite web|author=Eamonn Condon|url=http://www.mail-archive.com/t-and-f@lists.uoregon.edu/msg10373.html |title=Freeman, still on top of the world |publisher=[[The Electronic Telegraph]] |date=27 May 2001 |accessdate=10 March 2008}}</ref>


What's this fuss about true randomness?
In 1988, she was awarded a scholarship to an exclusive girls' school, [[Fairholme College]] in [[Toowoomba]]. In a competition in 1989, Freeman ran 11.67s in the 100 metres and Danila began to think about entering her in the Commonwealth Games Trials in Sydney.


Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.
In 1990, Freeman was chosen as a member of Australia's [[4 × 100 metres relay|4 × 100 m relay]] team for the [[1990 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Auckland]], New Zealand. The team won the gold medal, making Freeman the first ever [[Australian Aborigines|Aboriginal]] Commonwealth Games gold medallist, as well as one of the youngest, at 16 years old. She moved to Melbourne in 1990 after the Auckland Commonwealth Games. Shortly after moving to Melbourne Nic Bideau, her manager, introduced Freeman to athletics coach Peter Fortune, who would become Freeman's coach for the rest of her career. She was then selected to represent Australia at the [[1990 World Junior Championships in Athletics]] in [[Plovdiv]], Bulgaria. There, she reached the semi-finals of the 100 m and placed fifth in the final of the 400 m.


RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.
Freeman competed in her second [[1992 World Junior Championships in Athletics|World Junior Championships]] in [[Seoul]], South Korea. She competed only in the 200 m, winning the silver medal behind China's Hu Ling. Also in 1992 she travelled to her [[1992 Summer Olympics|first Olympic Games]], reaching the second round of her new specialty event; the [[400 metres]]. At the [[1993 World Championships in Athletics]] Freeman competed in the 200 m, reaching the semi-finals.


As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.
1994 was Freeman's breakthrough season, when she entered into the world's elite for the first time. Competing at the [[1994 Commonwealth Games]] in Canada, Freeman won gold in both the 200 m and 400 m. She also competed as a member of Australia's 4x100 m squad, winning the silver medal and as a member of the 4x400 m team, who finished first but were later disqualified. During the 1994 season, Freeman took 1.3 seconds from her 400 m personal best, achieving 50.04 seconds. She also set all-time personal bests in the 100 m (11.24) and 200 m (22.25).

Freeman made more progress during the 1996 season, setting many personal bests and Australian records. By this stage, she was the biggest challenger to [[France]]'s [[Marie-José Pérec]] at the [[1996 Summer Olympic Games|1996 Olympics]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} She eventually took the silver medal behind Pérec, in an Australian record of 48.63 seconds. This is still the sixth fastest time ever and the second fastest since the world record was set in [[Canberra, Australia]] in 1985. Only [[Sanya Richards-Ross]] has come within a quarter of a second of Freeman's time since.<ref>http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/inout=o/age=n/season=0/sex=W/all=y/legal=A/disc=400/detail.html</ref> Pérec's winning time of 48.25 is the [[List of Olympic records in athletics|Olympic record]] and the third fastest ever.

In 1997, Freeman won the 400 m at the [[1997 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]] in Athens, with a time of 49.77 seconds. Her only loss in the 400 m that season was in [[Oslo]] where she injured her foot.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}


What's this fuss about true randomness?
Freeman took a break for the 1998 season, due to injury. Upon her return to the track in 1999, Freeman did not lose a single 400 m race, including at the [[1999 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]].<ref>http://www.sporting-heroes.net/athletics/australia/cathy-freeman-274/defends-world-crown-in-seville_a08106/</ref>

Her winning streak continued into the 2000 season, despite Pérec's return to the track. Freeman was the home favourite for the 400 m title at the [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Olympics]] in Sydney, where she was expected to face-off with rival Pérec. This showdown never happened, as Pérec left the Games after what she describes as harassment from strangers.<ref>{{cite news|title=SYDNEY 2000; Perec Says Fear Overwhelmed Her|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/29/sports/sydney-2000-perec-says-fear-overwhelmed-her.html?_r=1|accessdate=2 June 2012|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=29 September 2000}}</ref> Freeman won the Olympic title in a time of 49.11 seconds, becoming only the second Australian Aboriginal Olympic champion (the first was Freeman's 4x400 teammate [[Nova Peris-Kneebone]] who won for [[Field hockey at the 1996 Summer Olympics|field hockey 4 years earlier]] in Atlanta).<ref>http://www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE2289b.htm</ref> After the race, Freeman took a victory lap, carrying both the [[Australian Aboriginal flag|Aboriginal]] and [[Australian flag]]s. This was despite the fact that unofficial flags are banned at the Olympic Games and the Aboriginal flag, while recognized as official in Australia, is not a [[national flag]], nor recognized by the [[International Olympic Committee]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Indigenous leaders want officials to drop ban on flags|url=http://www.theage.com.au/olympics/off-the-field/indigenous-leaders-want-officials-to-drop-ban-on-flags-20120731-23d74.html|accessdate=2 May 2013|newspaper=The Age|date=1 August 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Olympic flags rule sparks anger|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/7542761.stm|accessdate=2 May 2013|newspaper=[[BBC News]]|date=5 August 2008}}</ref> Freeman also made the final of the 200 m, coming sixth.<ref>[[David Wallechinsky|Wallechinsky, David]]; Loucky, Jaime.

Freeman did not compete during the 2001 season. In 2002, she returned to the track to compete as a member of Australia's victorious 4x400 m relay team at the [[2002 Commonwealth Games]].

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.

Catherine Astrid Salome "Cathy" Freeman, OAM (born 16 February 1973) is a former Australian sprinter, who specialised in the 400 metres event. Her personal best of 48.63 currently ranks her as the sixth fastest woman of all time, set while finishing second to Marie-Jose Perec's number three time at the 1996 Olympics. She became the Olympic champion for the women's 400 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics, at which she lit the Olympic Flame.[2] Freeman was the first ever Aboriginal Commonwealth Games gold medalist at age 16 in 1990.[3] 1994 was her breakthrough season. At the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada, Freeman won gold in both the 200 m and 400 m. She also won the silver medal in the 1996 Olympics and came first at the 1997 World Championships, both in the 400 m event. 1998 saw Freeman taking a break from running due to injury. She returned to form with a first place in the 400 m at the 1999 World Championships. She announced her retirement from athletics in 2003.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.83 trillion random bits for the Internet community.

What's this fuss about true randomness?

Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.

RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.

Personal life

Freeman was born in 1973 at Slade Point, Mackay, Queensland, to Norman Freeman and Cecelia. She and her brothers Gavin, Garth and Norman (who died after a motor vehicle accident on 16 September 2008)[4] were raised there and in other parts of Queensland. She also had a sister named Anne-Marie (1966–1990) who suffered from cerebral palsy and spent much of her life in a home for the disabled. Freeman attended several schools, but was mostly educated at Fairholme College, in Toowoomba.[citation needed] Her parents divorced in 1978.[5] Freeman has described how she has been influenced by early experiences with racism and also by her Bahá'í Faith.[6] Freeman was raised a Baha'i, and says of her faith, "I'm not a devout Baha'i but I like the prayers and I appreciate their values about the equality of all human kind".[7][8]

Freeman's mother Cecelia (née Sibley) was born in the Aboriginal community on Palm Island. Freeman's father was Norman Fisher; Norman was raised by his mother Geraldine Roy and his stepfather Claude Freeman.[5] Freeman's late grandfather, Frank Fisher was an outstanding rugby player.[9]

Freeman had a long-term romantic relationship with Nick Bideau, her manager, that ended in acrimony and legal wranglings over Freeman's endorsement earnings.[10][11] Freeman married Alexander "Sandy" Bodecker, a Nike executive and 20 years her senior, in 1999. After her success in Sydney she took an extended break from the track to nurse Bodecker through a bout of throat cancer between May–October 2002.[12] She announced their separation in February 2003.

Later that year, Freeman began dating Australian actor Joel Edgerton whom she had initially met at the 2002 TV Week Logies. Their relationship ended in early 2005.[13]

In October 2006 Freeman announced her engagement to Melbourne stockbroker James Murch.[14] They married at Spray Farm on the Bellarine Peninsula on 11 April 2009.[15] Freeman gave birth to Ruby Anne Susie Murch on 8 July 2011.[16]

She joined with actress Deborah Mailman on a road trip+, a four-part television documentary series Going Bush (2006) where the pair set off on a journey from Broome to Arnhem Land spending time with Indigenous communities along the way.[17][18]

In 2008, Freeman participated in Who Do You Think You Are? and discovered that her mother was of Chinese and English heritage as well as Aboriginal. As a result of a 1917 Queensland policy that Aborigines could serve in the military if they had a European parent, her paternal great grandfather, Frank Fisher served in the 11th Light Horse Regiment during WWI.[5][19]

On her right arm, the side closest to the spectators on an athletics track, she had the words "Cos I'm Free" tattooed mid-way between her shoulder and elbow.[20]

In 2009 Freeman was inducted into the Queensland Sport Hall of Fame.[21]
