Now That's An Upset

I looked it up after fruitlessly trying to figure it out. I feel better now, because I would not ever figure it out. This is a good one.

Me too. I have never even heard of this athlete!

A lot of people like to see upsets, especially when they are rooting for the underdog. Today (Monday) is the 68th birthday of an Olympic gold medalist who won in a true upset. This Olympic gold medalist also won an Olympic silver medal in the same Games.

This person married an Olympic silver medalist. Our birthday athlete was very versatile and actually started out their track and field career in another event.

Final clue: This Olympic champion retired from the sport at the age of 22, having one the shortest athletic careers of any Olympic champion. Can you name this two-time Olympic medalist with a March 8th birthday?
