The left hand photo above shows Tasha Danvers all smiles after she had
produced a superb performance to win the bronze medal in the women's 400m
Hurdles final at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Danvers, a silver
medalist at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, ran a new PB time of 53.84
secs and what better time to produce a personal best performance than on
the biggest stage of all, the final of the Olympic Games.
