	Ludmila Engquist
		As a native-born Russian, Ludmila Engquist competed in the early part of her career for the Soviet Union, and under the surname of Narozhilenko, from her first marriage.
		Ludmila maintained that her positive drug test had been caused by her previous husband spiking her vitamin supplement, an allegation that he confirmed in a case before the Russian courts, which led to the court lifting her ban and her subsequent reinstatement by the IAAF in December 1995 under their 'exceptional circumstances' rule.
		Ludmila's next challenge was to gain Swedish citizenship to allow her to compete for her newly-adopted country, and this was granted on 20 July 1996, just weeks before the Olympic Games in Atlanta.

		Ludmila Formanova landed the biggest surprise win of the championships in the women’s 800 metres final, when she took the lead less than 10 metres from the line to snatch victory from two of the sport’s biggest star names, Svetlana Masterkova and Maria Mutola.
		Engquist tried to shunt aside questions about her cancer, wanting to be treated like a normal athlete out to beat an opponent instead of one running for her life.
		Engquist’s long-term goal — and maybe a better possibility — is to defend her Olympic title in Sydney next year.

	Observer \| Over hurdles on to ice
		Ludmila Engquist's reputation for bravery is already enshrined in athletics folklore after her courageous battle last year against breast cancer.
		Engquist received hundreds of letters from all over the world praising her for her courage, but there's one she is especially proud of.
		Engquist still has to actually sit in a bob, let alone ride in one ('It takes a bit more planning than just putting your spikes on') and still has to experience the gut-wrenching fear of racing down a thin piece of ice at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.

		Born Ludmila Leonova in Russia in 1964, she married at an early age, and had a baby, Natasha, in 1982, well before she established her international athletics career.

		However, she was unable to maintain that supremacy over her continental rivals in the European Championships at Split on 30 August, where she finished 5th in the 100m hurdles.
