Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Betty Cuthbert began running at age eight and was trained by a schoolteacher in the little New South Wales town in which she grew up. As a teenager, she performed well but labored in the shadow of her teammate Marlene Matthews, whose times were superior to hers. Cuthbert was so uncertain about her performance that she bought tickets to attend the Melbourne Games as a spectator. She need not have worried: in the first round of the 100-metre event she smashed the world record with a time of 11.4 sec, leading the field by 1.5 meters. Although she was instantly hailed as a national hero, the unassuming 18-year-old Cuthbert quietly prepared for her next race, the 200 meters, which she won four days later with a time of 23.4 sec. Several days after that, she anchored the Australian 4×100-metre relay team, earning her third gold medal of the 1956 Games.

During the years 1956-63, Cuthbert held 12 world records in races at distances of 60 to 400 meters. A pulled hamstring forced her to miss the 1960 Olympics in Rome, but in 1964 she won the first women's Olympic 400-metre race with a time of 52 sec. She later described her performance as "the only perfect race I have ever run." In 1966 her autobiography, Golden Girl, was published.

I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that&#39;s what was good about it.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn&#39;t have to work for it and it&#39;s better than any gold medal that I&#39;ve ever won.

I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I&#39;d win the 200m.

You&#39;ve got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed. I feel that&#39;s the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you&#39;ve got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It&#39;s so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.
