Posted by simon on 1/25/2007 on simon's blog Rochelle Stevens, a member of the US 1,600-meter relay team, who won silver in 1992 and gold in '96, is coming out of retirement to bid for glory at the 2008 games in Beijing. Stevens is now 40, and says: "There are a lot of young women still not running as fast as I used to on a bad day". Martial arts training, forced on her as a way of staying in shape following a torn cartilage that ended her running career in 2000, got her so fit that she made an exercise DVD. And it while filming running sequances, she realised she could still do it. | |
