Would it be safe to assume that some children in her native Zimbabwe will be named “Cherry” or, the more interesting, “Cherryontop” to honor Kirsty’s victory? After all, when she won three medals in Athens 2004, many Zimbabwean babies were named “Kirsty”, “Coventry”, “Goldmedal”, and “Threemedals”.
