The inset picture above shows a delighted Maurren celebrating
after she had won the gold medal in the final of the womens Long Jump at
the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Maggi's jump of 7.04m came in the
very first round and it was not until the 6th and final round that she
was really challenged for first place, Russia's Tatyana Lebedeva falling
just 1cm short of equalling Maurren's effort! The action photo also
shows Maggi during the final.
She became the first Brazilian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual sport
