Christa and Saul first met at the 1958 Stoke Mandeville Games and renewed their friendship in 1959 at those Stoke Mandeville Games. Fate would bring them back together at the 1960 inaugural Paralympics in Rome, Italy. Lured by the promise of excellent food and spare wheelchair parts, Christa ventured over to the American tent along with a few of her teammates. Saul and Christa started a conversation, but while he stepped away to refill their plates, another athlete came in to charm her. Naturally competitive, Saul shooed the young admirer away. The games were a success for both Christa and Saul—she won eight medals and he won two, but the true win was the start of their romance.
