Anne Audain, the "winningest" female road racer of all time, Part 2

Anne Audain is considered the "winningest" female road racer of all time. From 1980 through the 1990's Audain won 90% of her races, dominating the road racing scene for over a decade. At the 1981 Cascade Run Off in Portland, Oregon, Anne accepted the $10,000 1st place prize money, and was immediately banned by New Zealand's Sports Association. She went on to be the first woman to legally sign a professional contract with Nike, and to be able to earn a living from her running. For today's athletes, it is important to understand the devastating consequences Anne could have suffered because she needed to earn a living from her hard work, and her wins on the road. She was the pioneer woman runner who demanded equality and openness, and pushed running into the professional world it is today.
