SUMMER OF '88. The day Delorez exploded from the blocks to wipe tranquility off fellow teammate Ashford's face, knock rival Grace Jackson off contention by zapping first for the finish line ... Same day she twice beat that big German girl in the sprint double, that was the day she first saw him. He stood just off the track, moonstone eyes full of awe. At first she thought he was an official. But as her husband, Al, tore towards her, roaring and joyful on her win, the strange man evaporated.
Second time she saw him was after the stellar bend she ran when, wind-assisted or not, she handed the relay baton first to Ashford, and the Soviet finisher ran out of legs. There, just there on the curve, as Ashford blasted to victory, Delorez saw the mysterious man studying her, a fine shimmer in his eyes. That was when she noticed his nakedness, and the color of his skin. It was pale blue, caught in a nebulous dance of light. She swirled, stupefied, as Sheila and Alice soared onto her, delirious with the relay win. Further out, Ashford boogied triumphant with the baton, and photographers snapped and snapped their happy shots.
