RIP Val, legendary Lancashire lass. born too soon, would have been a true superstar today. At 40 she was up against our top Olympians in their late teens early twenties. True class, should have made much bigger news.
Please note that the united states, canada, china, japan, west germany and 60 other countries did not compete in the 1980 games because of a boycott to protest the soviet invasion of Afghanistan

Who was she? Never heard of her!
Aged eleven and moving from junior to senior school that year. Shame that female cricketers didn't feature, because cricket is my game!
Lovely stuff
Suzanne Dando 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Suzanne Randolph and Sharron Davies were my two favourite British female sports stars of this era.
Dando!!
slightly puzzled about why Kathy Smallwood cutting her hair short; she normally had it long for her competitive running
Were any more of these events broadcast ?
