Antonella Bellutti, 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist


An excellent photograph of Antonella Bellutti on her way to winning the gold medal in pursuit at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Click on photo to enlarge.

She did not successfully defend that victory in Sydney 2000 but did win another gold medal, this time in the points race.
