Susie O'Neill, affectionately christened 'Madame Butterfly' by the media, is the golden girl of Australian swimming. Breaking one of the sport's longest-standing world records when she won the 200 metres butterfly at the Sydney Olympic swimming trials in May 2000 was only the latest in a long line of triumphs - from Olympic gold in Atlanta to world, Commonwealth and Pan Pacific championships.
Yet she handles her extraordinary success with modesty, warmth and humour, making her one of Australia's most loved and admired sports stars. This book is a beautifully produced photographic exploration of her life and achievements, up to and including the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, published to celebrate what promises to be Susie's most spectacular year to date.
Susie O'Neill What a amazing book.
Such a good book letting us know about your swimming career you are such a wonderful swimmer but you gave up your career you knew it was the right thing to do Susie get back out there in the water and become the superstar swimmer you once again and show Australia what you're made of Susie
