Edith Frances Robinson was the first Australian female track & field athlete to compete at an Olympic Games when the 1928 Amsterdam Games was the first to feature women's athletics. She competed in the 100m and then was convinced to enter the 800m, an event she had never previously competed in, by her male Olympic colleagues.

Robinson won Australian Championships over 100 yards & 220 yards, and unofficially tied the 100 yards world record. She set Australian records from 100 yards to 440 yards during her career. As Australia's oldest living Olympian, she was awarded the honour of officially opening the Olympic Village for the 2000 Sydney Games.
