Best Answer

Cathy Freeman was one the last torch bearers in the 2000 Olympics opening ceremony in Sydney, Australia. Australia is her home country. I'm sure officials wanted to showcase an Aborijane who did good and show that the world. Freeman went on to win a Gold Medal later on in the Olympics.
