Extractions: The 100-metre dash is the show stopper of the Olympic Games, and one of the events in the original modern Games, in 1896. Eight runners qualify for the final, and they blast in a straight line down the track in lanes that are between 1.22 and 1.25 metres wide. Each runner is allowed only one false start, which is determined by pressure plates built into the runner's starting block. A runner has finished the race when his or her shoulders or torso cross the finish line. This has been a signature event for Canada over the years. Percy Williams of Vancouver won the 100 metres at the 1928 Games in Amsterdam, Harry Jerome won bronze in 1964, Ben Johnson won bronze in 1984 before winning gold and being humiliatingly disqualified for drugs in 1988. And Donovan Bailey won gold in Atlanta four years ago. Canadian women also fared well initially. Bobbie Rosenfeld won silver and Ethel Smith bronze in Amsterdam in 1928. Hilda Strike struck silver in 1932.

Richardson, M.D., Vice Chair , of Clermont, Florida Dr. Dot Richardson is currently Medical Director of the National Training Center in Clermont, Florida, a state of the art facility for athletes of all levels, located on a campus with a fully staffed hospital (South Lake Hospital) and the University of Central Florida. She is an orthopedic surgeon with Ray-Richardson Orthopedic Associates. In addition to her medical career, Dr. Richardson is a well-known athlete in the sport of softball. A two-time Olympic Gold medallist in softball (1996 and 2000), she hit the game-winning home run that led to a Gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Games, the year softball debuted at the Olympics. That home run was the first in Olympic softball history. She was the oldest softball player in 1996 and also at the Sydney Games in 2000, when she turned 39. The U.S. team had dominated at the 1996 Games and went to Sydney with a 119-game winning streak. The team struggled to reach the final but triumphed over Japan in a dramatic 2-1 victory to win its second straight Olympic gold medal in softball. Dot Richardson received her B.S. degree in Kinesiology and Pre-Med from the University of California Los Angeles, her Masters in Exercise Physiology/Health from Adelphi University, and her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Louisville Medical School. During her orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Southern California, she took a one-year leave of absence to compete at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. After completing her residency, she began a one-year fellowship at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic, in Los Angeles, where she worked with professional athletes from the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.

Extractions: by Monika Guttman The gold medal lies in a dresser drawer-unless someone asks her to bring it to work. Her bats rest in a corner of the house with a pool that she rents with two friends-although these days she doesn't have much time to swing a bat or swim. A year after her gold medal-winning performance as shortstop on the U.S. Women's Olympic Softball Team, Dot Richardson, M.D., is so busy being an orthopedics resident and sought-after personality that she doesn't have a second to, as she puts it, rest on her laurels. Or simply rest. "A year ago," she notes wryly, "I was definitely in better shape." Still, half the population of America wishes it had her stamina. The ever-enthusiastic, ever-energetic 35-year-old Orlando, Fla. native raves that her return to medicine after a year off to train for and participate in the Atlanta Olympics has been "fantastic." She's working more in the operating room at the LAC+USC Medical Center, she's rediscovered her passion for helping heal broken bones, and she says there's "no way" she'd give up on the two years left of her residency. "I envision having an incredible medical practice, whether I start a group or join an existing group," she predicts. As if the demands of residency weren't enough, Dr. Dot, as she's known on her Family Channel segment "Dr. Dot's Corner," has also become something of a media darling. Since last year, she has signed almost a dozen endorsement deals, including Coca-Cola and Reebok. She's just released an autobiography, "Living The Dream: My Story," and is overseeing development of a television movie about her life. She's worked as a commentator for ESPN, the all-sports cable network, and she's in demand as a motivational speaker to physician groups and corporate organizations.

During a boisterous post-game football celebration at Chicagos Farragut Boating Club, a Yale graduate tossed a boxing glove at a Harvard fan who knocked it away with a broom handle. Soon after, the glove was replaced with a ball, the broom handle became a bat and the sport of softball was born. Canadian amateur players began to play a game outdoors, this became popular in Canada and got a foothold in the US. From those modest beginnings, softball, in all its forms including slow pitch, three-pitch, lob-ball, etc., has become one of the most widely played team sports in the world.
