Running straight into the arms of victory

Running straight into the arms of victory
At the Atlanta Games of 1996 Michael Johnson not only became the first athlete to take Olympic golds in both the 200m and 400m, but shattered the 200m world record with an eye-opening time of 19.32sec.

Johnson suffered a niggling hamstring problem after the 1996 Games which curtailed his 1997 campaign, but unfortunately for his opponents he was still ready for the 2000 Sydney Games.
