Notes

Atlanta 1996 – running kit won by Yuko ARIMORI (JPN), bronze medallist in the marathon. Yuko Arimori competed for Japan at the Olympic Games Barcelona 1992 and won a silver medal. At the Atlanta Games in 1996, having undergone a leg operation, she qualified for her second Olympic marathon and finished third, behind Russia’s Valentina Yegorova and Ethiopia’s Fatuma Roba. It was extremely hot in Atlanta and the athletes opted to wear breathable fabrics, such as this short mesh running top. Athlete donation
