It wasn't mine, it was ours."In September 1972, after years of hard work, sacrifice and dedication, Mary Peters won the gold medal for the pentathlon at the Munich Olympics.

From establishing its first high standard synthetic athletic track, to founding the Mary Peters Sports Trust, she has been a stalwart ambassador for sport and for Northern Ireland itself, and has received several royal honors in recognition of her services to sport and the community.With over 60 photographs set alongside lively commentary and insight into contemporary events, this is the definitive account of a truly remarkable woman: 'Our Mary'."A joyful trailblazer, Mary takes her place amongst those few special sporting stars who have achieved legendary status - both as an athlete and in her achievements since leaving the track." - DAME KATHERINE GRAINGER DBE"I owe so much to Mary Peters. I was a beneficiary of one of her foundation's grants, and for that, and for her continued support, I will always be grateful." - CARL FRAMPTON MBE"Mary Peters is an inspiration.
