Former swim champ Fraser, 71, fights off attacker

NOOSAVILLE, Australia (AP) - Dawn Fraser, who won swimming gold
medals at three Olympics, fought off and helped capture a man who
tried to rob her home north of Brisbane.
The 71-year-old Fraser said Monday the man grabbed her but she
fought back. She said a male friend made the man lie on his stomach
until police arrived on Sunday.
Fraser won eight Olympic medals, including four golds, and held
the 100-meter freestyle world record from 1956 to 1972. She won the
100 free at the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics.
