...finishing in 38.58. Canada, the only team capable of challenging the U.S., almost was disqualified when it appeared that anchor Donovan Bailey took the handoff from Bruny Smith out of the exchange zone. Despite a yellow flag being raised, Canada was not disqualified. Lewis, seeking his record 10th gold medal, hasn't been named to the relay team yet, despite an injury to Leroy Burrell. But it appears likely he will be added to the team later Friday, when Coach Erv Hunt analyzes video of this morning's race. Mitchell, who has been an outspoken critic of Lewis, said...

But shortly after winning the decathlon, O'Brien lost the medal. He put it in a gym bag, which he left in the back of the vehicle that took him to his car. Luckily, Jim Reardon, his sport psychologist, retrieved it. After all, O'Brien couldn't be expected to wait another four years...
...night. This was St. John's only cinema. On the other was the Olympics, specifically the U.S. women swimmers going for gold in the 4X100 medley relay. As the American anchor touched the wall first, everyone took time out from the movie to cheer and chat excitedly about another medal for the Americans. The scene was a commercial NBC could only dream...
