It was in 1984, during the 3000 meters in the Olympics Los Angeles, when the South African Zola Budd and American Mary Decker had an incident on the track, beyond the abandonment of the race by Decker, led to serious dialectical disputes between their respective national teams: United States and Britain ( Budd acquired British citizenship amid much controversy just before the competition, as due to the apartheid South African regime had banned its riders compete at the Olympic level).
