Irina Privalova from Russia is arguably the most versatile sprinter in history having broken the 60m World Indoor Record, and winning Olympic Gold in the 400H. She also won indoor gold medals in the 60m, 200m and 400m. But her path to Olympic gold was a decade of close competition, injuries, and coming up short year after year.
