Australia's 'Golden Girl'

 Betty Cuthbert   first   sprinted her way into history and into  Australians' hearts as an eighteen year old when she won three gold medals   at  the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games.   She went on to  break nine world records  over short distances and was the only Olympian, male or female, to win gold in all sprinting events.   Though a sprinter, she had her own marathon to face when  her body began to be overtaken ​ by  multiple sclerosis  in 1969.   LISTEN as Paul tells something of Betty's story.
