Short Track Speed Skating at the 1988 Calgary Winter Games:

Italy’s Cristina Sciolla had set a world record earlier in the season, but was expected to see tough competition from the Canadese and Japanese ladies, especially the recent overall world champion Sylvie Daigle, and the winner of the 500 m at the Worlds, Yumiko Yamada. Daigle and her team mate Eden Donatelli qualified for the final, but were no match to Monique Velzeboer. Four years later, Velzeboer would just miss out on a medal in Albertville. While training for the 1994 Olympics, she had a horrible crash that made her a paraplegic. She has since become a notable photographer.
