		Anier Garcia of Cuba produced a near-flawless run to upstage his more experienced rivals and give his wife a great wedding anniversary gift on Monday—victory in the Olympic men's 110 hurdles.
		Garcia, the 1999 world silver medallist behind Jackson, kept his cool and his technique to stretch his lead and crossed the line almost two metres clear, a huge gap in an event usually decided by hundredths of a second.
		Garcia's 13.07 in Lausanne in July was the fastest time of the season until Johnson's 12.97 three weeks later and he was full of confidence coming to Sydney.

		Because of this, Anier felt under pressure before Sydney but knew how to handle it: "Before the Games, I wanted to erase the memory of Atlanta, where I was eliminated in the qualifying stages, and the Seville World Championships, where Briton Colin Jackson narrowly beat me at the finish," he explains.
		Anier had a perfect run in Australia and above all started well: "I don’t agree with those who say the start is my weak point.

		I showed him the race several times on video and told him he should concentrate on the fact that he is the hurdler with the best technique in the world and not to worry.
		For example, in the last indoor world championship in Lisbon, I knew that Anier was not all right and I advised him not to participate.
		In Lisbon, Anier asked me if he could participate, I trusted him and despite the fact that he was not really in the ideal condition to compete, he finished second.

		So much for punditry -- Cuba's Anier Garcia turned in a stunner of a run, breasting the tape in 13 seconds flat.
		Terrence Trammell of the US came in second, in 13.16 and Mark Crear, who famously broke his arm 14 days before Atlanta, yet raced to a silver, this time had to settle for the bronze.
		The 24-year-old Garcia, the world silver medallist, in contrast, ran a near-perfect race, toppling the second hurdle but then hitting his rhythm to sail over the rest, heading his nearest rival by a good 0.16 of a second -- which, over the 110m, is one heck of a lead.
