Kim Turner is pictured above (lane 6) during the final of the 100m Hurdles at the 1984
Los Angeles Olympics. She took the bronze medal behind compatriot Benita Fitzgerald-Brown (lane 4)
and Britain's Shirley Strong in lane 7. Michele Chardonnet (lane 5) was originally deemed to have finished
in 4th place behind Turner but a successful appeal saw her elevated to equal third.
