	CNN.com - Iolanda Balas - Jun 23, 2004
		Although she won consecutive gold medals in Rome in 1960 and in Tokyo in 1964, the Romanian's achievements are perhaps better reflected in her 140 consecutive competitive victories in the event between 1957 and 1967.
		Such was Balas' domination that at the time she set her final world record in 1961 no other woman had gone higher than 1.78m.
		She won her first gold medal in 1960 by a margin of 14 centimeters with a leap of 1.85m -- one centimeter short of the world record she had set in Bucharest earlier in the year.

		During that period she also set 14 world records, literally raising the bar from 1.74 meters (becoming in 1958 the first woman to clear six feet (1.83m) to 1.91m.
		Standing taller than six foot, her preternaturally long legs were ideally suited to the "scissors" style favored by the leading athletes of the day.
		Balas continued to compete for three more years, battling with knee problems, until finally in 1967 she was beaten.
