In the past week Capriati completed her long climb back to the top of women's tennis, and in the middle of his latest comeback Lemieux was voted NHL player of the month for January. For Lemieux this is at least the second comeback of his remarkable career. The first calamity struck in January of 1993 when Mario was diagnosed with a form of Hodgkin's disease. Radiation treatments ravaged his body and he was unable to perform normal everyday tasks, let alone play hockey. After sitting out the 1994-95 season he came back and performed better than ever continuing at the record breaking pace of points and goals that once made him a legitimate threat to challenge the scoring records of Wayne Gretzky.
