Happy 59th birthday today (Thursday) to an Olympic champion who competed in two Olympics, but won only one medal.

Our birthday athlete won a gold and a bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships.

This individual won the national championship title nine times in-a-row.

You probably already know that no hurdles were involved in this Olympic gold medal.

Interesting to note that this champion shares the same initials as a nine-time Olympic gold medalist (in track & field).

No more clues for now. Please give the name of this Olympic champion.

Claudia Losch?

Though Lewis is not the only nine-time gold medalist

Happy birthday today to Claudia Losch (59). Claudia, in case you forgot, won the women's shot put in Los Angeles (1984). She took fifth place in the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988. Of course Carl Lewis is not the only nine-time Olympic gold medalist, but he is the only one with CL initials.
