  • Résumé

  • Shanda discusses the quick rise of record breaking Olympic medal winning runner Betty “Babe” Robinson who after a plane crash left her so severely injured a stranger took her straight to the morgue, made a full recovery and was able to win a gold medal for the United States in the 4 x 100 meter relay at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Ashley recounts the harrowing tale of mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates and how bad weather and unfamiliar terrain left the two men with a slow descent down the West Face of nearly 21,000 foot Siula Grande peak in the Peruvian Andes with no food, no water, and a broken leg.
