About this listen

Invariably seen as the best swimmer of the 20th century and Australia's greatest female athlete ever, Dawn Fraser was the first of only three swimmers in history to win individual gold medals for the same event – the 100-metre freestyle – at three successive Olympics.


But behind the unique glory of an indisputable champion lies a personality marked by minor scandal and ineffaceable pain.


The Essential Olympic Stories podcast is brought to you by Eurosport in association with Bridgestone.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
