Flintoff-King, Debbie (1960 - )

Debbie Flintoff-King was a hard-working, determined athlete who became an Olympic champion in the grueling 400 meters hurdles event. She won Commonwealth Gold in 1982 and 1986, spent an intense season competing in Europe in 1987, but is best remembered for her last-stride victory in Seoul in 1988.
