Also cheering from the sidelines will be Chris Lambert ’03, who will be running in the 200-meter dash--—in which he is reigning British national champion—and in the 4 x 100 meter relay for Great Britain. Despite the different nationalities, Taylor said she would still be rooting hard for her old Crimson teammate...
...Olympic torch's world tour. The eternal flame's five-week trip was meant to ignite worldwide sporting passion. India awarded the event appropriate pomp: television networks ran blanket coverage and main roads in the Indian capital were closed off, causing world-record traffic jams.

Ian Crocker, the lead-off swimmer, was under his usual pace because of a bacterial infection; he?s been fighting a sore throat for three days but decided not to take antibiotics. Bob Bowman, Phelps? coach and the assistant coach for the U.S. men, noted that ?It was a rough night...
