Many people consider Jackie Joyner-Kersee the greatest female athlete of the 20th Century. Joyner-Kersee is a three-time Olympic gold medalist (plus three other Olympics medals) and world record holder in the women's heptathlon. She was in Quincy, Illinois, this past weekend to serve as Race Marshal for the Bridge the Gap to Health Race.
Joyner-Kersee gladly signed several 8x10 shots and two magazine (Time and SI) covers for me and posed for this shot during Friday's Race Expo. The following morning, she "medaled" me as I crossed the finish line of the Race's half-marathon.
