Anne Audain, New Zealand's most successful road runner | Scratched: Aotearoa's Lost Sporting Legends

Anne Audain is the only New Zealand woman to win Commonwealth Gold on the track after a convincing win in the 3000m at the 1982 Brisbane games. Now in her sixties and still running every day, Audain shares her life story of surgeries, abuse, bans, dominance, and, finally, triumph.
From tennis champions to dance craze inventors, Scratched celebrates New Zealand sporting heroes who never got their due - but whose legacies deserve to be in lights.
Made with the support of NZ On Air

[@mikeybycrikey]

Good story. A little weird to be seeing my dad’s name on the telegram at 7:29 banning her.

[@chantelleberriman8859]

Anne Audain is a champion athlete, and your dad should not have banned her, doing that to her was mean

[@angellosmalefakis1321]

Anne Audain was a trailblazer. The crooked sport administrators need to RECOGNIZE her and her many achievements. There should be statues and schools and highways and airports in NZ named after her. She is a remarkable woman and the first real NZ female sportswoman on the international level.
