Elizabeth "Betty" Cuthbert AM, MBE is an Australian athlete, and a fourfold Olympic champion... (wikipedia)
The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.
My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.
My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.
You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed. I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.
I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.
