Sprinter Freeman walks down the aisleMelbourne, Apr. 11 : Olympic champion Cathy Freeman married Melbourne stockbroker James Murch in a private ceremony on Victoria''s Bellarine Peninsula on Saturday.

Under a sea of umbrellas put up to foil the long lenses of paparazzi photographers and TV cameras, the champion sprinter walked down the aisle to wed Murch in front of 120 guests at the Spray Farm winery at Portarlington.

The couple is believed to have signed an exclusive agreement with a magazine for 100,000 dollars, but the fee will be donated to charity, the Nine Network reported on Saturday.
