Answer 2

1. Otylia Jędrzejczak (born December 13, 1983, Ruda Śląska, Silesia, Poland) is a Polish swimmer. She is the current world and Olympic champion in the 200 metre butterfly. She took part in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics, and twice broke the world record in the women's 200m butterfly.

After the race Jędrzejczak revealed, that during the pre-olympic trials in Athens in June she had declared that if she won a gold medal in the Olympics, she would auction it off and hand the proceeds to a charity helping children suffering from leukemia.

The results of the internet auction were announced on the 19 December 2004 with Victoria Cymes, a Polish food company, turning out to be the highest bidder with 257,550 zlotys (about 82,437 USD). The money was handed over to the Oncology and Haematology Clinic of Wrocław's Children's Hospital.

On 1 October 2005 she was injured in a car accident, which killed her 19-year-old brother, Szymon. She was driving, attempting to pass several long-haul trucks at high speed and crashed into a tree.

On 25 March 2006 she came back to competitive swimming, winning 200 m butterfly at an international meet featuring Poland, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. She won in a time of 2:15.73 s, some 10 seconds slower than her own world record. In the 2006 European Championships in Budapest she again defended her 200 m butterfly title and won 200 m freestyle.

Answer 4

Gail Devers 100m hurdler US

Despite my athletic success, 1988 was also the year I encountered one of the toughest challenges of my life. While training for the Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, my health began to deteriorate. I suffered migraine headaches, sleeplessness, fainting spells and frequent vision loss. I should have been at my peak performance. Instead, I was constantly exhausted and my body felt out of control.

At first I blamed my condition on the pressures of Olympic training. But I soon found out that I had Graves' disease, a debilitating chronic thyroid disorder. During this time my feet became so blistered and swollen, the skin cracked and bled. The excruciating pain forced me to stop running. The doctors were sure they'd have to amputate both of my feet. I was devastated. Deep down, I was scared to death that my life as an athlete was over
In the 1992 games, Devers crashed into the final hurdle, finishing a disappointing fifth. Again, in Atlanta in 1996, she finished fourth, missing a medal in the hurdles. Missing out on previous medals has made Devers even more determined go for the 100m hurdles gold in Sydney.
at 33, Devers is also the oldest hurdler, male or female, going into the Games
On Wednesday, January 26, 2000, five-time Olympic gold medalist and thyroid patient Gail Devers testified to Congress about her own years of misdiagnosis, during which a severe case of hyperthyroidism went undiscovered.

Devers' testimony was part of a Congressional investigation into ways to combat medical mistakes that are estimated to kill up to 98,000 hospitalized Americans a year. An unknown additional number of people are harmed or killed by mistakes outside of hospitals each year as well. The Congressional inquiry is based on a report that was released by the Institute of Medicine in November of 1999.
The study called for mandatory reporting of medical errors, and for Congress to create a federal Center for Patient Safety to investigate ways to prevent medical errors and establish better standards for patient safety.

The proposal is controversial. Doctors' groups fear that mandatory reporting will fuel the current medical malpractice and litigation onslaught. Some lawmakers feel that a federal Center for Patient Safety simply duplicates the job of current federal health agencies and departments.

In Devers' case, doctor after doctor failed to recognize the signs of severe Graves' disease, as the Olympic gold medal-winning athlete dropped from 125 to only 87 pounds, suffered debilitating fatigue, lost nearly all her hair, and suffered other symptoms she has described as "traumatic."

In Devers' testimony, she described how doctors dismissed her symptoms of weight loss, fatigue, rapid heart rate, and dry skin as normal for an Olympic athlete in training. After more than two years, and in such a severe state that doctors discussed amputating her leg, Devers was finally diagnosed. She had radioactive iodine treatment to disable her thyroid, and was put on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. She went on to win gold medals in the 100-meter dash at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.
Gail Devers is a paid spokeswoman for the GlandCentral Campaign, sponsored by the American Medical Women's Association, and funded by Knoll Pharmaceuticals, manufacturer of Synthroid brand levothyroxine sodium thyroid hormone. Synthroid is the top-selling thyroid hormone on the market, and the number two drug sold in the U.S. Synthroid was recently the subject of a proposed class action settlement in a lawsuit filed by patients taking the drug. The lawsuit alleges that patients were overcharged during the 1990s, paying as much as two to three times for Synthroid than the cost of competitive and equivalent drugs.
