Sally Pearson doesn’t look like this anymore! Olympic hurdler reveals her very glamorous transformation during TV appearance
She is one of Australia’s most successful athletes, holding the title of fourth fastest 100m hurdler in history.
And Sally Pearson surprised her fans on Tuesday when she unveiled her glamorous new look.
The 37-year-old Olympic hurdler was barely recognisable when she appeared on Sunrise to discuss Australian boxer Harry Garside’s loss at the Paris Olympics.
Sally’s new look featured voluminous blonde locks and a full face of makeup, including blush, eyeliner and false eyelashes.
During the interview, the athlete discussed the moment Garside collapsed and said he had let his country down.
“I think he shows his emotions and I think it’s brave that he can do that. I was an athlete who wore my heart on my sleeve,” she said.
“I think we athletes always think we only feel the pressure we put on ourselves.”
She continued: “For someone to speak out like that and apologise to the Australian public shows how much weight we carry as a nation at the Olympic Games.”

“I don’t think anyone really needs to say sorry because they didn’t do anything wrong.”
Sally admitted that she felt like she had been ‘let down’ during previous competitions.
“I think it’s very brave of him to be able to say that,” she added.
