Gabriela Andersen-Scheiss was a ski instructor1 in the U.S. state of Idaho when she represented Switzerland at the 1984 Olympics. Twenty minutes after the winner, Joan Benoit, crossed the finish line, the 39-year-old Andersen-Scheiss staggered into the stadium, suffering from heat prostration2. Her right leg was stiff and her left arm was hanging limply by her side. While spectators gasped3 in horror, doctors noted4 that she was perspiring5 - a good sign - and they let her continue. For 5 minutes and 44 seconds, she lurched along the final lap around the track, occasionally stopping and holding her head. Finally she fell across the finish line and into the arms of waiting medics. Andersen-Scheiss placed 37th. Remarkably6, she recovered rapidly and was released by medical personnel only two hours later.
1984年代表瑞士参加洛杉矶夏季奥运会的时候，卡布利约拉-安德生-希斯是美国爱达荷洲的一位滑雪教练。在马拉松金牌获得者撞线20分钟后，39岁的安德生-希斯才一瘸一拐的走进体育场，此时她的右腿已经僵硬，左手也瘫痪了，原来她在比赛中途中暑，她以自己的毅力最好的诠释了伟大的奥林匹克精神。现场所有的观众都惊呆了，医生注意到她还在呼吸，同意她继续比赛。5分44秒，她在体育场的内坚持着马拉松比赛的最后一圈，间或停下来，低头呼吸，最终她倒在马拉松的终点线上，早已等候在一旁的医务人员马上扶着她。她名列第37名，令人吃惊的是，她迅速的恢复，两个小时后，她就从医务人员的帮助中站立起来。
