'It was definitely not to make some big political statement,' says Switzer, who has written a book about her career as an athlete and promoter of women's running. Switzer, 61, reveals that although the incident launched a new era of women's sport, she had not entered to make a feminist stand.

It shows Switzer's tall figure in a grey tracksuit bearing the number 261 in the 1967 Boston marathon.

She smashed those prejudices with an incident captured in a photograph which became world famous. It's so obvious today, but 40 years ago when Switzer unwittingly became a pioneer of women's distance running such beliefs were common.
