Australian Cathy Freeman was already a hero in her country when she was chosen to light the Olympic flame at the opening of the 2000 games in Sydney. As an Australian Aborigine, she had been outspoken about her pride in her native culture. Here, after a decisive win in the 400-meter run in Sydney, Freeman waves the Aboriginal and Australian flags in her victory lap. Photograph by Reuters
