Gail Devers wins the gold medal in the women's 100m event at the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games.

The event was extremely close as 5 women finished within a space of 0.06 seconds to create a nail-biting finish.



A true champion, Yolanda Gail Devers' track success came after years of misdiagnosed health problems. The American failed to qualify for the 1988 South Korean Olympics games in Seoul due to symptoms of an enlarged thyroid caused by an undiagnosed condition. After suffering with severe headaches and blurred vision, Devers lost 23 pounds of body weight before finally being correctly diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1990. Two years of healthy training followed, enough to win gold at the Olympic Games in Barcelona.
