I'm aware it's not athletics, but Stu Ungar won the 1997 World Series of Poker after recovering from a horrendous crack addiction. It's quite a story.

After losing three Wimbledon finals, Goran Ivanisavic won it in 2001 whilst ranked 125 in the world. He is still the only wildcard to have ever won it.

Jennifer Capriati was a top 10 Tennis player in the early 90's. By the middle of the decade she was outside the top 200, but then came back in the early 2000's to win 3 grand slams.

Niki Lauda won the F1 world championship in 1984 five years after retiring.

George Foreman won the Heavyweight boxing championship at 39 years old after coming out of retirement.
