SYDNEY, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The eastern grandstand of Sydney's Olympic stadium will be named after Cathy Freeman in tribute to the Indigenous runner who won the 400m gold medal at the venue during the 2000 Games. "This stadium and Sydney Olympic Park hold a truly special place in my heart and that will never change," the 50-year-old said. The grandstand will be named 'Cathy Freeman Stand'. Freeman also took the 400m silver at Atlanta and won back-to-back world titles in the distance. "For the past two Summer Olympic Games, Australia’s Olympic team has comprised more women than men, all of whom have an inspirational story," Australian Olympic Committee President Ian Chesterman said in a statement.

Chesterman told the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) annual general meeting national sporting bodies were already financially stretched and that the groundwork for Brisbane success needed to be laid now. "It is clearly understood that a successful home Games requires a successful home team. But the clock is ticking and the strain within the system is showing," the AOC chairman said. "We come off a hugely successful Tokyo Games, but that is nearly two years ago, and the system that helped to produce those performances is understandably struggling. "Results also don't come at the flick of a switch, so if Australia is to have a successful team in Brisbane 2032, the system, the people, that took us to that success in Tokyo need nurturing now."
