Dawn Fraser Recovering After Hip Replacement Surgery

Australian swimming legend Dawn Fraser, 87, has been hospitalized after a serious fall at her home in Noosa, resulting in a broken hip and four broken ribs. Despite initial fears of internal bleeding and critical injuries, Fraser underwent a full hip replacement and is recovering well, although not yet fully out of danger. Her daughter, Dawn-Lorraine Fraser, described the incident as 'scary' and emphasized Fraser's determination and resilience, noting how she has been up and walking in the hospital. Fraser, who famously won eight Olympic medals, including four golds in the 100m freestyle across three Olympic Games (1956, 1960, and 1964), remains a beloved figure in Australian sports. Tributes and well wishes have poured in, with Swimming Australia expressing hopes for her speedy recovery. Fraser's enduring spirit is evident as she continues to support and mentor younger athletes while being celebrated for her historic achievements.
