Madeleine Pape (born February 24, 1984 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian middle distance runner.[1] She set her personal best time of 1:59.92, by winning the women's 800 metres at the 2008 Sydney Athletics Grand Prix in Sydney, New South Wales.[2][3] She also won a gold medal in the same distance at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, finishing her time at 2:01.91.[4]
Pape represented Australia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 800 metres. She ran in the first heat against six other athletes, including Russia's Svetlana Klyuka, who nearly missed out of the medal podium in the final. She finished the race in sixth place by ninety-one hundredths of a second (0.91) behind Namibia's Agnes Samaria, with a time of 2:03.09. Pape, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she placed twenty-ninth overall, and was ranked farther below three mandatory slots for the next round.[5]
