The first systems will soon appear in Japanese banks to verify...

Before the medal presentation, she changed from her diamanté black leotard into a sleeveless electric blue one. And when she stepped up to receive her medal, she raised an index finger in the air. "I'm still an Olympic champion," she said at a press conference after the event. She had a point. In Sydney 2000 and Atlanta 1996, Khorkina won gold in the uneven bars, her signature event.
