That flinty and fragile , 15-year-old who flung batons in charming anger simply seemed less wholesome and attractive at 26 throwing brickbats at Zola Budd. Before a poster of Decker tacked tenderly to her bedroom wall, Zola had once been awestruck that "anyone could be so pretty." Now that the athletes have resumed running and jumping, a number have been reluctant to let Mary up.
