Gail
Denvers
|
|
|
Devers experienced the highlight of any
|
|
|
sprinter’s
career, as she stood on the huge
|
|
|
platform in the
giant stadium and received an
|
|
|
Olympic gold
medal.
|
|
|
Eighteen months earlier she wasn’t
thinking
|
|
|
about running.
She was hoping that she would
|
|
|
be able to walk
again.
|
|
|
Just four years earlier, in the summer
of
|
|
|
1988, as Devers
was training for the Olympic
|
|
|
Games, to be
held in Seoul, South Korea, she
|
|
|
began to feel
very tired all the time and failed to
|
|
make the Olympic
finals.
