Sandra Graf
Sandra Graf (born 9 December 1969)[1] is a Swiss wheelchair athlete. Graf competes in wheelchair races of a variety of distances. She has twice put her career on hold to have children. In 2003 a lung embolism set back her training and kept her from competing in the marathon and 5000 meter distances, although she still competed in the 800 and 1500 meter races.[2] In 2008, during her first London Marathon wheelchair race, she both won the race over American Amanda McGrory and Briton Shelly Woods and set a new course record of 1:48:04.[3] She has competed in athletics at the Summer Paralympics three times, from 2000 to 2008, and won a bronze medal in the marathon at the 2008 Beijing Games.
