Cathy Freeman and the women she defeated in the celebrated women's 400-metre race at the 1996 Stawell Gift have come together to look back on one of Australian athletics' most memorable moments, marking 30 years since the iconic contest.
Freeman, who went on to become one of Australia's greatest Olympic champions, took part in the reunion alongside her rivals from that famous race, with the group reflecting on what the event meant to them and how it has endured in the nation's sporting memory.
The Stawell Gift, held annually in Victoria, is one of Australia's most storied foot races, and the 1996 women's 400-metre edition has long been regarded as a highlight in its history.
