Sally Pearson Professional Career

At the age of 14, Sally Pearson won the 100m and 90m Australian hurdles titles. After two years, in the 2003 World Youth Championships in Sherbrooke, Canada, she won the gold medal in 100m hurdles. She also took part in the open level 2003 World Championship in Paris, France representing Australia in the 4×100m relay team just at age of 16.

In 2004 Pearson won bronze in the 100m World Junior Championship, and also showed good performance in 100m hurdles in the same competition finishing fourth. Pearson appeared in Commonwealth Games at 2006(Melbourne) but she paid off the chance of a medal after she fell to the ground after tripping over a hurdle.

However, 2007 was not fruitful for Pearson as she only could pave her road only to the semi-final at World Championships at Osaka.

In 2008 Pearson made her mind to only focus on 100m hurdles and that came to be the jackpot as she finished her race in the second position. Lolo Jones was unlucky as the photo finish was made to decide minor medals. 2009 is the year when Pearson was in full form.

She not only won five out of seven matches she also broke the Australian record in 100m hurdles at Hercules in July. She was 0.03s faster than the area record of her own on the same track a year earlier finishing the race on 12.50s.

But 2009 was not that lucky enough for her to win World Championship in Berlin and back spasms were what hampered her form.  In the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, she took part in 100m sprint as well as 100m hurdles but in the final of 100m sprints she recorded a false start, still was allowed to run in the restart and she crossed the finish line first with a time of 11.28s.

But Pearson was declared disqualified after the protest was lodged after the race. She made a great comeback three nights later with gold in 100m hurdles final finishing race in 12.67s. She also was included in the Australian team for the women’s 4×400m Relay and her team finished fifth in the race.

She also made a record-breaking win on national games winning three national titles at the same event (100m, 200m, and 100m hurdles).

With the win, she became the first Australian woman to do so since Pam Kilborn had done in 1986. At the 2011 World Championship in South Korea Pearson Won a gold medal in 100m hurdles finishing the race in 12.28s, the fourth-fastest time in history, and beat its own Oceanian area record and Australian national record. 2012 London Olympic game also was in favor of Pearson. She won 32 races out of 34.

Pearson grabbed the gold medal with a new Olympic record of 12.35s (Wind (m/s):-0.2) letting Americans Dawn Harper (12.37) and Kellie Wells (12.38) behind. Pearson had to stay out of the pitch for the rest of 2015 as she fell over a hurdle to suffer a “bone explosion” on her forearm.

At the 2017 World Championship, she took home the gold medal in the 100 meters hurdles in London with a time of 12.59. The following year, was to particip100-meter in 100-meter hurdles and 4x100 relay but later withdrew due to an Achilles tendon injury. She later retired from her professional career in 2019.
