2. Uta Pippig / Marathon Runner 

German long-distance runner Uta Pippig had won the Boston Marathon for two years running, in 1994 and 1995. Before that, Portugal’s Rosa Mota had ruled it two straight times in 1987 and 1988, and even managed a third one in 1990. However, no woman had won the event for three consecutive years, and nothing was going to get in the way of Pippig — not even her monthly period or awful diarrhea. Falling behind Kenya’s Tegla Loroupe by 220 meters and her body giving up on her, Uta somehow managed to pull of the inspiring victory. “I had some problems with my period. I didn’t expect it would become this worse . . . diarrhea,” she recalled. To this day, Pippig still stands alone as the only woman to win three consecutive Boston Marathons.
