Zola Budd, born Zola Pieterse on May 26, 1966, in Bloemfontein, South Africa, is an Olympic middle-distance runner known for her unusual practice of running barefoot. In the 1980s, she set several unofficial long-distance world records and twice improved the women's 5,000 m world record in under two years. Budd also won the World Cross Country Championships twice. Her athletic achievements were often overshadowed by political controversies during her brief time in the United Kingdom.
