The Lemaitre of women sprinters with her height and slowish start, Kathy Cook is still Britain's best all round sprinter 30 years on. Here's a short youtube of some of her successes.

These are her PBs often run against eastern block drug fuelled athletes. What an athlete!

Kathy Cook won an amazing 23 major championship medals. Simply the best female sprinter from England ever. You could argue that she was even more talented than Allan Wells who people still talk about. Kevin Little of the U.S. was a great all around sprinter too. Anything from 100-400 meters and he would give you a hell of a race. Today I think of someone like Marek Niit. Thanks for posting this.

Yes she had a similar build to Raelene Boyle. A fit sinewy build, both were probably robbed of higher podium spots by druggies.
