Elizabeth ("Liz") Weekes (born September 22, 1971 in Sydney) is an Australian water polo player from the gold medal squad of the 2000 Summer Olympics, when women's water polo was contested for the first time at the Olympic Games. She was the goalkeeper of the Australian team, which beat USA 4-3 in the final game in front of a World record attendance of 17,000 spectators. She also attended Fort Street High School. Liz started playing water polo at the age of 15. It was not long before she was chosen for the state and Australian schoolgirl’s team before being inducted in the Australian squad at only 19.Liz made her debut in the national team in 1995. She enjoyed immediate success as the team won gold in the 1995 FINA World Cup in Sydney, Australia. She was regarded as one of the outstanding goalkeepers of her age. Liz was one of the main advocates in helping women's water polo win a twenty-year battle to compete in the Olympic Games. So passionate were Liz and her team-mates about the acceptance of their sport that they went as far as storming IOC meetings to gain recognition for their cause.
