12、Feeman :Australian Heroine
It all started in Atlanta. That was the first time I saw her. I said to myself damn, she's kind a cute I must tune in tomorrow for a second glimpse5. The next time I saw her, she looked even better. After the Olympic Games I was somewhat obsessed6 with seeing her again; mostly due to the fact that it was next to impossible to find anything on her, that little glimpse wasn't enough. Soon, I started looking for track magazines, books, and watching track shows every time they were aired. I didn't even like track, I just watched to see her run. Guess you can say Freeman was my introduction to track and field. With the track and field, I observed, I learned more about the sport and the major players involved in it.
