How the rebellious Australian swimmer shattered records in the 1950s and 60s

How the rebellious Australian swimmer shattered records in the 1950s and 60s, becoming a triple Olympic champion.

In the 1950s and 60s, the Australian swimmer, Dawn Fraser, became one of the most famous athletes in the world - winning the Olympic 100 metres three times in a row. But Fraser was almost as well known for her rebellious attitude and bad behaviour out of the pool. Kirsty Mcquire talks to Dawn Fraser and her coach, Harry Gallagher. The programme is a Sparklab Production.
