The 1964 Tokyo Olympics were bittersweet for Dawn Fraser, who tasted glory and controversy in equal measure.
Fraser remains the only Australian to have won three individual gold medals in the same event in three successive Olympic Games - and Tokyo was where she claimed her 100m swimming trifecta. 
But Fraser had a horror lead-up to the Games.
In   March 1964 she was a passenger in a car that lost control and crashed into a parked truck, killing her mother and leaving her with her neck in plaster for six weeks from a chipped vertebrae.
She overcame the injury and grief in the swim of her life. By the time she went out celebrating her incredible achievement, she had already fallen foul of uptight Australian swimming officials who had forbidden her from marching in the opening ceremony so she would be fresh for her swims.
She'd gone anyway. The officials gave her a team swimsuit to race in, but she'd donned her own "more comfortable" togs for her early swims.
By the time the authority-challenging wonder child was arrested at 2.30am on the night of her win, while part of a small expedition of Australians trying to souvenir a Japanese flag from outside Emperor Hirohito's palace, she was in deep trouble.
Officials imposed a harsh 10-year suspension on Fraser, which sparked a national outcry.Although her ban was cut to four years, she was ruled out of the next Olympics, and retired in 1965.
