...successive Olympics. After dogging Portugal's Carlos Sousa Lopes for most of the grueling 10,000-meter final on Monday, Viren shot past him with a lap to go and then loped his light-footed way to a 30-meter lead at the finish line.

He pronounced himself a people's candidate, unwelcome in the banks and board rooms. As Governor, he made some enemies among businessmen...
...Saturday morning, but the finals were a different matter. Off the blocks first was Trinidad's Crawford, and there he stayed, fighting off Borzov midway, then Quarrie at the wire in 10:06. Borzov and Glance were third and fourth, as one of the Olympics' smallest countries ran off with a big gold...
