The athlete who can ONLY run backwards

Ms Cattivera has focal dystonia which means she experiences leg spasms if she runs normally

Laura Cattivera, 46, from California, has a condition called focal dystonia which means she experiences involuntary spasms in her leg if she runs normally.
Determined not to give up running, she discovered that she does not experience the spasms if she runs backwards. This is because the condition is only triggered by certain motions and running backwards involves different movements.
