ATHENS OLYMPICS SPECIAL ISSUE
Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, who has dominated the 1500 metres event since 1997, holds off Bernard Legat of Kenya to win the only title that had eluded him - an Olympic gold. He also prevailed in the 5000 metre final.

Justin Gatlin of the US (r) crosses the line ahead of Portugal's Francis Obikwelu (c) and Maurice Greene, also of the US to win the 100 metres final. Above, another view of the race, the photo finish.
