Betty CuthbertPrint Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates Australian athlete, Betty Cuthbert (1938-2017).

Known in her heyday as the Golden Girl, she is still Australia's most successful Olympic runner. Aged 18, she won gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the 1956 Games, failed at the 1960 Games, then returned bravely to win the 400m gold medal and the 1964 Games, a great end to a great career.
