Athletics
Olympic history could be made tonight as Carl Lewis seeks to win a record ninth gold. Victory in the long-jump final, one of seven events decided tonight, would be his fourth in a row. Kelly Holmes is one of the contenders in the women's 800m, but Cuba's Ana Quirot will provide strong opposition. World Champion Allen Johnson is the biggest obstacle standing between Colin Jackson and Tony Jarrett and an elusive Olympic gold in the 110m hurdles final. The world record may be in danger from American Michael Johnson in the 400m final, while defending 400m hurdles champion Sally Gunnell lines up in the semi-finals.
