42 year-old German discus legend Ilke Wyludda is returning to the discus ring! But this time with the goal of competing at the 2012 Paralympics.
In December 2010 she had to have her lower right leg amputated due to a bacterial infection that led to blood poisoning.
In addition to working as a medical practitioner she is now back in training with her old coach, Gehard Böttcher, who also emerges from retirement to support her campaign.
