"Eight Women" Print Page

The sculptural installation "Eight Women" is a tribute to a century of women’s participation in the Olympic Games and a reminder of the huge contribution women have made to Australian Olympic history. 

Seven of Australia’s greatest female Olympic athletes, Betty Cuthbert, Raelene Boyle, Dawn Fraser, Shirley Strickland, Shane Gould, Debbie Flintoff-King, and Cathy Freeman, carried the Torch in the Opening Ceremony to light the Olympic Cauldron. The eighth women represented is Australian Paralympian, Louise Sauvage, who ignited the Paralympic Cauldron.
