Tania Van Heer became Australia’s most successful athlete at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur when she won two relay Gold Medals as well as a bronze in the 100m.

Some commentators believe she would have also won the 200m in KL if she had started in that event.

Van Heer also represented Australia in World Cup, World Championships and World Indoor Championships, winning a silver medal in the latter.

    The march of folly of exclusive policies. Myopic. Sri Lanka’s loss, Australia’s gain.
