	Svetlana Masterkova
		Although Svetlana Masterkova had shown early promise as a middle distance runner, she did not reach her full potential until relatively late in her career.
		When Masterkova returned to the track in 1996, she quickly showed that she had not only lost none of her talent over 800m, but had also become quite adept at the 1500m, an event she had not contested since 1984.
		Although Masterkova was considered a possible medal chance in the 800m at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, she was not expected to trouble the two pre-race favourites, Ana Quirot (Cuba) and Maria Mutola (Mozambique).

		Masterkova was born in the small town of Achinsk in Siberia in 1968 and started her athletics career at the age of 13.
		However, Masterkova was still in the shadow of her team-mates until 1996, when she managed to became the star of the show in Atlanta after two years out of sport when she gave birth to her daughter.
		This year Masterkova managed to overcome her Achilles tendon injuries, which have plagued her for years and comes to Sydney as a hot favourite for the gold at the 1500 metres distance.
