Madeleine Pape (born 24 February 1984) is an Australian sociologist and former middle-distance athlete.[1]
Pape grew up in Emerald, Victoria and was inspired to focus on running after seeing local athletes represent Australia in the 2006 Commonwealth Games.[2] In 2008, she set a personal best of 1:59.92 in the 800 metres while winning the Sydney Athletics Grand Prix.[3][4] Pape competed in the women's 800 metres at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she finished her heat in sixth place, failing to advance to the semi-finals.[5] Pape went on to win an 800m gold medal at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, finishing in 2:01.91.[6] However, in 2010, she had a tendon injury that ended her athletics career.[2]
