Timeline

1982

Jana Pittman (born 9 November 1982) is an Australian former athlete.

During her athletic career Pittman specialised in the 400 metres run and 400-metre hurdles events.

1999

Pittman won the 400 m hurdles at the 1999 World Youth Championships in Athletics in Bydgoszcz and became treble champion in 200 m, 400 m and 400 m hurdles at the national championships of that year.

2000

In 2000, she became the first woman ever to win the 400 m flat and hurdles double at any IAAF or IOC championships – in this case, the 2000 World Junior Championships in Santiago (Chile).

Just before the Athens Olympics, Pittman tore her right meniscus during a warm-up for a track meet in Zurich, where she had been favoured to win the 400 m hurdles event.

After undergoing surgery in London only one week before the start of the games, she ran 5th in the final.

At the Melbourne Commonwealth Games Jana Pittman successfully defended her two Commonwealth titles.

2002

She also won the gold medal in this event at the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games and was part of Australia's winning 4 × 400 metres relay teams at both events.

Pittman is one of only ten athletes (along with Valerie Adams, Usain Bolt, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jacques Freitag, Yelena Isinbayeva, Kirani James, Dani Samuels, David Storl and Faith Kipyegon) to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event.

As at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, Pittman-Rawlinson was a member of Australia's gold medal-winning 4 × 400 m relay team (with Tamsyn Lewis, Caitlin Willis and Rosemary Hayward).

2003

She is a two-time world champion in the 400 m hurdles, from 2003 and 2007.

2004

This was her first major championship in the event since her 2004 knee injury and subsequent stress fractures in her back.

After delivering her first child, Cornelis, Pittman had her wisdom teeth removed and a 10-week injury break with plantar fasciitis.

Despite these difficulties, she ran well on the European circuit and comfortably won the 400 m hurdles at the Osaka World Championships.

2006

She competed until April 2006 under her maiden name Pittman, then under her married name Rawlinson, and in 2009, following the breakdown of her marriage, as Pittman-Rawlinson.

However, the 2006 Aussie team was awarded the gold medal after the disqualification of the England team for running outside their lane.

Pittman later wrote a letter of apology to the English team and offered her gold medal to them.

She blamed the disqualification on Lewis who, alongside Pittman, went up to the officials after the race to point out the violation of Englishwoman Natasha Danvers-Smith of taking an incorrect position on the starting leg.

According to the ABC Sports Desk the officials were moving to disqualify England anyway.

England head coach, Brad McStravick, questioned Pittman's motivation for writing the letter: "I know she is going to spend, well, at least half the year in England and I think some of the girls wondered whether it was just to try and make peace, so that she wouldn't face any animosity once she was living and training in England," he said.

Pittman won the 400m hurdles title with a new Games record time of 53.83 seconds.

2007

She carried a slight injury through her 2007 season, having surgery later in the year to remove loose cartilage and floating bone fragments in the second toe of her right foot.

2008

Pittman was pre-selected for the 2008 Australian Olympic team in late 2007.

In January 2008, Pittman was nominated for 'Comeback of the Year' at the Laureus World Sports Awards after winning the World Title in Osaka, within 9 months of giving birth to her son.

In February 2008, Pittman again set her sights on Olympic victory at the Beijing Olympics.

But on 9 July 2008, Pittman announced she would not be competing at the Beijing Games, because of the complications with the toe injury.

The Australian subsequently reported that a large number of Australians had "viciously turned against the fallen track star", strongly criticising her.

2009

On 29 June 2009, Pittman returned to racing after more than a year with a victory in the Grand Prix event at Málaga, Spain.

She won the 400-metre hurdles in a time of 55.67 seconds ahead of Ukrainian Anastasiya Rabchenyuk and Janet Wienand of South Africa.

However, she was not fit enough to defend her title at the 2009 World Championships.

2011

In April 2011, she beat domestic rival Lauren Boden on the final leg of the Australian Athletics Tour.

2012

A hamstring problem caused by bulging disc in her back interrupted her preparation for the tournament, but she was confident of a return, saying "I hope I can recover from this latest setback and get back on track for my long-term goal and dream – winning Olympic Gold in London in 2012".

Another 20 months passed before her return to competition.

Pittman suffered a foot injury in March 2012 which put her out of contention for the London Olympics, and resulted in her deciding to retire from athletics.

2013

In her first race Radjenovic and Pittman scored Australia's best ever World Cup finish with a seventh place at Altenberg in January 2013.

2014

Pittman also competed in the two-woman bobsleigh at the 2014 Winter Olympics, making her the first Australian female athlete to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games.

Pittman attended Matthew Pearce Primary School, Crestwood High School, Mount St Benedict College and Girraween High School in western Sydney.

She is second cousin to diver Melissa Wu.

After trying rowing and boxing, she elected to try her hand at bobsledding, acting as brakewoman to Australian pilot Astrid Radjenovic with a view to competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

In 2014, Pittman competed in the two-person bobsleigh event at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
