Rosa Mota
Rosa Mota, a legendary Portuguese marathon runner, is widely regarded as one of the greatest female marathoners of all time. Born on June 29, 1956, she achieved remarkable success in the sport, winning 14 out of 21 marathons she participated in between 1982 and 1992. Mota is the only athlete to hold simultaneous titles of European, World, and Olympic champion in the marathon, a feat she accomplished in 2017. Her most notable victories include a gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and a bronze at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. In recent news, Mota was hospitalized in intensive care following surgery for an abdominal aneurysm, a condition that was diagnosed after she experienced discomfort during a race in December.
