South African track legend Zola Pieterse, better known as Zola Budd, trains last week for the Comrades Marathon in Pretoria. Zola burst onto the world stage as a barefoot running sensation in the early 1980s when South Africa was barred from the global sports arena because of apartheid. Budd ended up competing for Britain and says foreign-born athletes get too much criticism. "You can't really blame people for trying to get into the Olympic Games," she said. Siphiwe Sibeko / Reuters
