  1. In 1992 I suffered a training accident two months before the Barcelona Olympics, in which I broke my ankle and had serious ligament damage to the ankle.
  2. After medical treatment I decided to resume my training for Barcelona, which, by now, was only a few weeks away.
  3. I competed in Barcelona and won a third place bronze medal.
  4. This summer I will attempt to win a gold at Atlanta.

  1. Who am I?
  2. What event do I compete in? Be precise.
