My Pyn, My Glorie

She was the long-legged girl from the small town Coligny that set world records as a high jumper and brought Olympic medals back to South Africa. But with the glory, Hestrie Cloete-Els also experienced the pain life can cause: a painful childhood filled with arguments; a marriage she entered into too young; the death of loved ones - often just before her biggest competitions...She writes about all of this - the pain and the glory - in her autobiography. For the first time, she tells about her miscarriage while still married to Andries Cloete in 2004. She also sketches an intimate picture of her new life with Afrikaans singer, Jurie Els and their two children in New Zeeland and says how she feels about the molestationaccusation made against Jurie Els by the young singer, Robbie Klay.
