Description
Elizabeth Alyse Cuthbert AC, MBE, was an Australian athlete and a four-time Olympic champion. She was nicknamed Australia’s “Golden Girl”. During her career, she set world records for 60 metres, 100 yards, 200 metres, 220 yards and 440 yards.
This is an original program from the 1956 Olympic Games held in Melbourne. This particular program was for Athletics on Tuesday 27 November 1956. Based on the years we were going to charity auctions, she would have signed this in the early 2000s. From memory there are markings inside the booklet from whoever bought it in 1956. I have not taken photos, but if you’d like more detail, just send us an email.
Betty personally signed this program.
