Nurcan Taylan

Coming up with a was never going to be easy.

I found out that the London 2012 Olympics team wants and that at the Sydney 2000 Games felt 'the Olympics are special because they don't happen every year' .

But they seemed a little dull, so I plumped for weightlifting sensation who set a new after lifting 97.5kgs in the snatch at the 2004 Athens Games to help her become Turkey's first female Olympic gold medallist.

Competing in the weight division, Taylan then clean-and-jerked 112.5kg to win with another Olympic and world record combined total of 210kg.

In all, Taylan set two World and five Olympic records in Athens.

The 24-year-old is in decent form going into Beijing, having won the in April.

Does the number 97 trigger any other Olympic memories for you?
