Marie-José Perec, a gazelle unlike any other
At the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, she won the gold medal in the 400m. She performed the same feat at the Atlanta Games in 1996, making her the first sprinter to win the 400m twice in a row. No other man or woman had accomplished this previously! In Atlanta, she again made history, becoming only the second athlete to win both the 400 and 200m.
