Sandra James is a Zimbabwean former athlete, who won eleven medals across four different sports at the Paralympic Games.
In the shot put, Dutch athlete de Vries-Noordam dominated the field with a throw of 2.59, but James' result, 1.96m, was just enough for second place, ahead of Murland (1.91).
Shunned by much of the international community, the country was embroiled in the Rhodesian Bush War by the time of the 1976 Games, and did not take part.
In athletics, she swept up three silver medals, in the discus, shot put and club throw events (1A category).
In lawn bowls, she took part in the pairs' event in the 1A-1B category, with team mate Eileen Robertson.
In the backstroke, she came fourth and last by far, her time of 1:43.46 well behind third-placed Eugenia Garcia of Argentina (56.76s), while Donaldson of the USA set a world record in 35.09s.
