This was Sonias last race before she ran in the Olympics that year. Amazing how she won comfortably here to end up failing dramatically and unexpectedly a few weeks later. Heartbreaking

Sonia is sponsored by exon mobil, thats a shame.

[@RonaldJones_13]

@ruthk618 No, genius ExxonMobil didn’t exist as a Corporation until Exxon bought Mobil in 1999. This race occurred in 1996. Obviously Mobil and not Exxon is the Title sponsor seeing that everyone is wearing number tags with Mobil on them.
