Sabatini Recognized by International Olympic Committee
Former U.S. Open winner, Gabriela Sabatini was awarded the Women and Sport trophy by the International Olympic Committee in recognition of “her work to promote and develop tennis in her country, among youngsters and particularly girls.”
“After retiring from an active sports career in 1996, Gabriela Sabatini devoted the same strength and energy to her support work, with a view, in her own words, to ‘giving back to sport something of the many things that sport gave to me,”‘ the Lausanne-based committee said in a statement.
Among others cited Wednesday was former middle-distance runner Charmaine Crooks, who won a silver medal for Canada at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and later became an IOC member.
