Every athlete has a signature moment.
In Gail Devers' case, it could not possibly have been scripted better by Olympic filmmaker Bud Greenspan. At the 1992 games in Barcelona, Devers surprised everyone by winning the 100-meter final, as the 100 hurdles was her best event. But she edged out many favorites in a close finish. Five days later, Devers lined up for that hurdles final. She was conformably in front with just one hurdle left, but shockingly crashed into that barrier and fell to the ground.
