At the age of 14 years and 6 months, she became the youngest Australian to win an Olympic gold medal, a record that still stands. Morgan began serious training in early 1956 and won Olympic selection for the relay team as well as the 400 m freestyle. Morgan's selection in the final quartet raised controversy because of her inexperience in top-level racing and her history of false starts. During the final, she lifted her head out of the water and saw her American opponent ahead of her, prompting her to regain the lead with a late burst in the third leg. Australia went on to win the relay in world record time. In her only individual event, Morgan came sixth in the 400 m freestyle.

Dawn Fraser AO, MBE (born 4 September 1937) was an Australian champion swimmer and politician. She is one of only two swimmers to win the same Olympic event three times – in her case the 100 meters freestyle.
Within Australia, she is known for her controversial behaviour and larrikin character as much as for her athletic ability.
Contents |
Early life[link]
Fraser was born in the Sydney suburb of Balmain in 1937 into a working-class family. She was spotted at the early age of 14 by Sydney coach Harry Gallagher swimming at the local sea baths.
Swimming career[link]
Fraser won eight Olympic medals, including four gold medals, and six Commonwealth Games gold medals. She also held 39 records. The 100 meters freestyle record was hers for 15 years from 1 December 1956 to 8 January 1972.
She is the first of only two swimmers in Olympic history (Krisztina Egerszegi of Hungary being the other) to win individual gold medals for the same event at three successive Olympics (100 meters freestyle – 1956, 1960, 1964).
In October 1962, she became the first woman to swim 100 metres freestyle in less than one minute.[1] It was not until 1973, eight years after Fraser retired, that her 100m record of 58.9 secs was broken.[2]
During the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Fraser angered swimming team sponsors and the Australian Swimming Union (ASU) by marching in the opening ceremony against their wishes, wearing an older swimming costume because it was more comfortable than the one supplied by the sponsors. She was charged with stealing an Olympic flag from a flagpole outside Emperor Hirohito's palace.[3] She was arrested but released without charge. In the end she was given the flag as a souvenir.[4] However, the Australian Swimming Union suspended her for 10 years. They repented a few months before the 1968 Games but by then it was too late for Fraser, at 31, to prepare.
She would later deny swimming the moat to steal the flag, telling The Times in 1991: "There's no way I would have swum that moat. I was terrified of dirty water and that moat was filthy. There's no way I'd have dipped my toe in it."
Post-swimming activities[link]
Fraser became a publican at the Riverview Hotel, Balmain, and took up swim-coaching. In 1988, she was elected an independent Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the seat of Balmain. Fraser left politics when the seat was abolished in 1991.[5]
Honours[link]
She was named the Australian of the Year in 1964,[6] was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1967,[7] and appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1998.[8] Also in 1998, she was voted Australia's greatest female athlete in history.[citation needed] She was named Australian Female Athlete of the Century by the Sport Australian Hall of Fame.[citation needed] In 1999 the International Olympic Committee named her the World's Greatest Living Female Water Sports Champion.[citation needed]
She was one of the bearers of the Olympic Torch at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She carried the Olympic Torch at the stadium, as one of the runners for the final segment, before the lighting of the Olympic Flame.
The Australian Sport Awards includes an award named in honour of and presented by Fraser. There is also a Sydney Ferries ferry named after her, that operates on the Parramatta River in Sydney.
Personal life[link]
She married Gary Ware in the 1960s, but the marriage was short-lived. She has one daughter, Dawn-Lorraine and a grandson.
