Freeman’s team t-shirt and bib number from the 1999 World Championships in Seville have been on long-term loan to the WA Heritage Collection since 2019.
Freeman is one of two Australian world champions entering MOWA. Dani Samuels, who won the women’s discus at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, had put her victorious singlet and numbers in the temporary trust of the WA Heritage Collection in 2019.
In addition to that there has been the loan of a Spanish team singlet and a pair of spikes from 2007 world 800M bronze medallist Mayte Martinez.
