Karier atletik
Sally Pearson was born in Sydney and moved to Birdsville, Queensland when she was eight years old, before finally settling on the Gold Coast. It was there, when he was in elementary school, that his athletic talents were noticed by Sharon Hannan, who trained him until 2013. Pearson rose to prominence in 2001, when at just 14 years old, he won the 100m Australian Youth and 90m hurdles title. After suffering a setback in 2002, he made his international debut at the 2003 World Youth Championships in Sherbrooke, Canada and won gold in the 100m hurdles. The next month, still 16 years old, he represented Australia at the open level at the 2003 World Championships in Paris, France as part of the 4 ÃÆ'â € "100m relay team. In 2004, he won bronze in the 100m at the Junior World Championships, and only lost a medal in the 100m hurdles.
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Pearson tripped the obstacles and fell to the ground during the final 100m hurdles, the medal opportunity cost. In 2007, he continued to pursue both the 100m and 100m hurdles, making the semi-final of every event at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan. However, ahead of the 2008 Olympics, he shifted his focus only to a 100m hurdle. This decision paid off, with Pearson claiming a silver medal in a dramatic final, where favorite Lolo Jones stumbles and a finished photo is needed to decide on a small medal. After the announcement of the official results, the Pearson golfer celebrated with enthusiasm with bronze medal winner Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, and gave an emotional interview.
Pearson was in good shape during the 2009 European season, winning five of seven races and breaking the Australian and Oceania record at 100 m hurdles at the Herculis meeting in July, with a time of 12.50 seconds; 0.03 faster than the record area he set in the same track a year earlier. However, he was hampered by back seizures in the lead up to the World Championships in Berlin, and was only able to finish fifth in the final 100m hurdles.
2010 Commonwealth Games
At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, Pearson competed in a 100m sprint other than a 100m hurdle. In the 100m final he recorded a false start, along with English runner Laura Turner, but was allowed to line up for the restart, crossing the finish line in 11.28 seconds. But the protest was filed after the race, which resulted in Pearson being disqualified for being disqualified. Three nights later he won gold in the final 100m hurdles in 12.67 seconds. Pearson was also controversially included in the Australian team for the final of the women's 4 ÃÆ'â € "400m relay, an event he did not train, and collapsed after running anchor legs, the Australian team finished in fifth place. Though he thinks he has disappointed his team, his teammates cheered him up.
At the start of the next season, he won the 100m, 200m and 100m hurdles to become the first Australian woman to win three national titles at the same event since Pam Kilborn performed in 1968.
World Championships 2011
At the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, Pearson ran a 100m hurdle 12.28sec (1.1), the fourth fastest time in history, after the semi-finals where he produced the fifth fastest time in 12.36s (0.3) history to beat Oceania's record and record national Australia.
Olympics 2012
Coming to the 2012 London Olympics, for the 100m hurdles Pearson has won 32 races from 34 starts. He led the competition after Round 1 heats up with 12.57 and leads into the final with a semi-final time of 12.39. Pearson won gold with a new Olympic time record of 12.35 (Wind (m/s): -0.2) beating American Dawn Harper, 12.37, and Kellie Wells, 12.48, both of whom recorded personal bests.
2015
At Golden Gala, Pearson fell down very hard and suffered a "bone explosion" on his left arm. The traumatic injury destroyed the rest of his 2015 season.
