Madeleine Pape (born 24 February 1984) is an Australian sociologist and former middle-distance athlete.[1]

Career

Pape set her personal best of 1:59.92 in winning the women's 800 metres at the 2008 Sydney Athletics Grand Prix in Sydney, New South Wales.[2][3] She also won a gold medal in the same distance at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, finishing in 2:01.91.[4]

Pape represented Australia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 800 metres. She ran in the first heat against six other athletes, including Russia's Svetlana Klyuka, who nearly missed out of the medal podium in the final. She finished the race in sixth place by ninety-one hundredths of a second (0.91) behind Namibia's Agnes Samaria, with a time of 2:03.09. However, Pape did not advance to the semi-finals.[5]

Following her athletic career, Pape moved to the United States to complete her doctorate studies in sociology, and now examines sex and gender in sport and biomedicine.[6]
