(Chinadaily.com.cn)
Updated: 2006-08-25 16:35 At the track and field events
at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, a pair of women from the United States
joined forces to make their presence known. Together, sisters-in-law Florence
Griffith-Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee won five gold medals and set four
Olympic records.
In cycling, another woman, Christa Luding-Rothenburger of the German
Democratic Republic, recorded her own amazing feat. Having won two speed skating
medals earlier that year at the Winter Olympics in Calgary,
Luding-Rothenburger's silver in the cycling track event made her the only
athlete in the history of the Games to have medalled at both Olympics in one
year. In the medal count, the Soviet Union bested the G.D.R. 132-102.
