Zola Budd

Zola Budd (b. 1966) is a field an track runner from South Africa, intermediately competing for Great Britain, as South Africa was excluded from international athletics competition because of its apartheid policy. During the 3000m-final at the Olympics 1984 in Los Angeles, CA, USA, Budd's rival Mary Decker stumbled and fell after collinding with Budd. A jury of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) found that Budd was not responsible for the collision.
