Tomorrow and yesterday

[gennady]

Today is May 17 birthday of Olympic champion.
Champion young enough and can add a new medal for themselves, as in the future and in the past.
What is the name of the athlete.
.

[Olli]

Thorkildsen?

Thorkildsen?

No, Torkildsen has two gold and he has no chance of getting a medal in the past.

Damn, i just solved it and got "guru meditation".
So once again: It's Christine Ohurougu. The tip with the medal in the past made me think of the 2004 british 4x400 right away cause i had read the story last month. If the US team gets disqualified because on of them admitted to doping then the british would get the bronze medal and Ohurougu is the only olympic champion that could have been in the 2004 relay team and have a chance at another one.

Yes norunner, the second champion is Christine Ohurougu.
You're right that she can get a bronze medal in 2004, and will compete for gold in 2012.
Happy Birthday, Christine!
