Sydney: Sydney is a memory to cherish
East
Timor's tiny band of athletes had a poignant message to take back to
their conflict ravaged homeland after meeting the world at the Sydney
2000 Olympic Games — "Come together and be happy". The
quartet may not have won any medals but they
made history. It was a richly symbolic moment to savour. |

2000 Olympic Games on Sunday afternoon. One of the favourites will be
back-to-back World Champion Abel Anton of Spain who placed fifth at
the Seoul marathon and is keen for victory in Sydney. Take
a look at Abel and the other main contenders. |

Athlete
Spotlight: Kevin Garnett (USA)
One
of the most dazzling players in the NBA, Kevin Garnett is expected
to light up the scoreboard in Sydney. Garnett, who joined the NBA
straight out of high school, has had a stellar pro career without the
benefit of experience in college ball. This versatile dominator, who
wound up in the NBA's top 20 in scoring, rebounding, blocks and
steals last year, plans
to lead Team USA to gold tomorrow. |
