Sally McLellan, at the tender age of 21, has shown us how it is done, on and off the track. She can run fast, both over the hurdles and on the flat, and has an unswerving belief in herself, no matter who the company.

But most importantly, she is completely unaffected in front of a microphone or camera.

She maintains her infectious enthusiasm and natural honesty at all times. None of the platitudes or cliches apply for McLellan. Just straight, honest answers for everyone.

There are many similarities between McLellan and the livewire in the Wallabies squad, Luke Burgess.

Neither pretend to be anything other than a natural, youthfully enthusiastic, slightly starstruck, but aggressive and successful performer on the world stage.

Long may they continue to be themselves.
