  Denise Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denise Lewis OBE (born August 27, 1972, in West Bromwich, England) is a British athlete who specialises in the heptathlon.
In the first event Lewis recorded 13.23 seconds for the 100 m hurdles to lie second behind the reigning world champion Eunice Barber who had finished in 12.97, the astonishing news was the withdrawal of reigning Olympic champion Ghada Shouaa who had pulled out after only 20 metres of her heat.
Event six was the javelin and Lewis pulled out a throw of 50.19 m and with her closest rivals some way further back she leapt into 1st with Sazanovich 63 points behind in 2nd with Prokhorova in 3rd a further 83 points away.

 Denise Lewis
At the 2000 Games in Sydney Denise Lewis enjoyed her fair share and at the end of her two days exertions in the heptathlon she was crowned champion without having recorded a single personnal best performance.
Denise then won the shot putt with 15.55m (her only individual event victory) and regained 2nd place only then to slip back to third following the 200m.
All she needed to do in the final event, the 800 metres, was ensure Yelena Prokhorova did not beat her by more than ten seconds, an event at which the then second placed Russian was known to be faster.

 Denise Lewis
During the Athletic Championships in Athens 98’ and Seville 99’, the British heptathlon athlete Denise Lewis took both silver medals and later in Sydney she took the gold.
However, in the last years Lewis has come under intense pressure because of her relationship with former East German coach, Ekkart Arbeit, the alleged director of drugs policy in the former communist country.
So for this year’s World Championships in Paris, there is a big question mark whether Denise will achieve a third medal also taking into account that she recently suffered an illness that has delayed her work-up programme.
