Dawn Fraser (born 4 September 1937) is an iconic Australian swimmer and a former politician. She was the first woman to win gold medals in the same event (100 m free) in three consecutive Olympics (1956, 1960, 1964). From 1956 to1964 she broke the women's world record for the 100 m freestyle race nine successive times, and her mark of 58.9 sec (1964) was unbroken until 1972.
