Still my favorite female athlete...
...Yelena Slesarenko, high jump gold medalist 2004, Athens. She set an Olympic record of 2.06 meters, about 6'9". She's about 5'11", short for a lady high jumper. I chanced upon this footage yesterday. Hadn't seen it in years. Something about this lady is pure grace gently smoothed over raw power for me. I mean 6'9"? Just the way she runs across the pitch to her coach at the end is amazing. That's the way women should run.
