7. Heather Mills: will skiing bring her Paralympic glory? 

Back in 2011, she crashed on the slopes, injuring her shoulder and partly amputated left leg. Two men came to her rescue – but as Mills reportedly told an Austrian newspaper: "When I took off my artificial leg they screamed in terror, because they thought the leg had come off in the accident."
