Uta Pippig
The winner of the last three Boston Marathons is among the favorites in the race that winds through the streets of Atlanta. Pippig, 30, an intern in Berlin who postponed her residency until after the Games, has been awarded five automobiles for winning marathons—but she doesn't drive them because she doesn't have a license.
