My Take
Kim Gallagher is an athlete I find genuinely stirring. A middle-distance runner from Philadelphia, she took silver in 1984 and bronze in 1988, medaling at two consecutive Olympics in the brutally honest 800 metres, an event where there is nowhere to hide behind teammates or tactics. Doing that twice on the world stage is no fluke. From her Upper Dublin High School days she clearly had rare talent and the grit to sustain it near the very top. Her death in 2002 at just 38 is a real loss. Her career was short, but the marks she left on the track have not faded, and I want to keep her story alive.
