The Storm of the Caribbean
Ana Fidelia Quirot has a pretty amazing nickname: people call her the 'Storm of the Caribbean'. That's because she's one of the five fastest women in the world over 800 metres. She's a two-time world champion who's also pocketed two Olympic medals. But she also has an incredible story of triumph over tragedy when she overcame bad burn injuries after an accident in 1993. Outlook's Jane Chambers travelled to Ana's home in Havana to meet her. (Photo credit: David Madison/Getty Images.)
