| | IN MEXICO, ALL EYES ARE ON ANA / An entire nation expects -- and needs -- a victory in women's 400-meter run today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | In fact, all of Ana's races, even the meaningless ones, are televised live back to her country, a reflection of just how big Ana has become -- and she is Ana, like Barry is Barry, Michael was Michael, Magic was Magic and, in San Francisco, Joe will forever be Joe. |
