DESCRIPTION:Thirty years after their epic 10,000m, and the highly symbolic victory lap, Derartu Tulu – the first black African woman to win an Olympic gold medal – and Elana Meyer – who won the first medal for South African when they were re-admitted to the Olympic Games in 1992 after a ban lasting 32 years – met again today in Barcelona. Elana Meyer donated to the Museu Olimpic I de l’Esport Joan Antoni Samaranch the neutral flag with which she ran the legendary that “26<sup>th</sup> lap", which was to be the defining moment of the Barcelona 1992 Games. Both athletes signed the flag, and Elana wrote on it: <p style="text-align: center"><em>The symbol of the power of the values of the Olympics!</em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em>Friendships, Peace, Perseverance</em></p> Those moments of deep friendship, of building bridges and spontaneous connection through sport were on show in Barcelona in 2022 just as they were in 1992.
