Did you know about Alberto Juantorena?

As Juantorena was being carried off the track on a stretcher most viewers must have thought that was the end but Juantorena returned to training with a view to competing in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Juantorena became better known in the next years winning a gold medal at the World University Games (1973) and a silver at the 1975 Pan American Games both in the 400 meters. At the 1983 World Championships his last international appearance in a major event he broke his foot and tore ligaments when he stepped on the inside of the track after qualifying in the first round of the 800 m.
