Controversies

In 2003 Falzon was involved in physical confrontations with two local women arising from ironwomen rivalry. This led to one woman seeking an apprehended violence order against Falzon.

After Hayley Bateup criticised Falzon and questioned her ability to finish the 2007 Coolangatta Gold (she came a very credible 14th), Phil Clayton, coach of Bateup, referred to Falzon as a "slur on the sport".
