Dawn Harper

Dawn Harper is indeed an inspiring Olympian as she had to overcome an injury early in her career, and it was a challenging obstacle that she had to face before she became an Olympic champion. Harper tore her Meniscus and PCL before a crucial and deciding sectional meet at her school. She certainly didn’t let the injuries stop her as she still ran and ended up bagging the silver medal.

Fast forward several years later, Harper won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. Indeed, it was an eventful year for her as she also got married to Alonzo Nelson after her Olympic success and is now running and competing under the name Dawn Harper-Nelson. She seems to have achieved success on and off the track as her wedding appeared on the popular reality show Say Yes to the Dress. Her post-Olympic life appears to be in total bliss, and there are no signs of any intervention coming from a lawyer anytime soon.
