"They did this because they don't want us to come back," says Iosif Zadashvili, who claims Russian soldiers stood by while Ossetian irregulars beat him in the courtyard of his home.

The time of 19.31 seconds flashed on the scoreboard. He beat the world record by .01, a hundredth of a second (the winning time was later lowered to 19.30). Michael Johnson's sacrosanct, 12-year old 200m mark, 19.32 seconds, set in the '96 Atlanta Olympics, was wiped off the track.
