Catherine Freeman was born in Mackay, Queensland. Her first gold medal was won at a school athletics championship at age 8. Cathy's family was poor and suffered discrimination from white Australians. In 1989 Cathy had won a scholarship to Kooralbyn International School to be professionally coached by Mike Danila. In 1990 Cathy moved to Melbourne. In 2003 she was training for the World Championships and hoped to represent for Australia at the Athens Olympics in 2004. Unfortunately Kathy retired on the 15 July, 2003.
