Olympian Libby Trickett Inducted Into The Sport Australia Hall Of Fame

Triple Olympian and four-time Olympic Gold medallist Libby Trickett will be inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame at the 32nd annual Gala Awards dinner in Melbourne.

In a career that spanned more than a decade at the top of the sport the bubbly and always smiling Trickett was a force to be reckoned with in the pool. With a total of 17 international gold medals from the Olympic Games, World Championships and Commonwealth Games, Trickett retired from the sport as one of the most decorated female swimmers of the modern era.

Since making her first Australian senior team in 2002, Trickett soon became a leading member of the Australian Dolphins Swim team and in 2003 she became the first Australian woman to break the 25-second barrier in the 50m freestyle before winning the first of many international medals with two bronze at the world championships in Barcelona.

At the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 she joined Alice Mills, and Sport Australia Hall of Fame members Petria Thomas and Jodie Henry in setting a new world record to win Australia’s first 4x100m freestyle title in 48 years. Then from 2005 to 2007 she won a total of 13 gold medals at the 2005 World Championships in Montreal, the 2006 Commonwealth Games and 2007 World Championships, both in Melbourne.
