		After a behind-closed-doors tongue-lashing by Australian Olympic Committee chief John Coates, the team emerged united, but there were plenty of commentators who saw this as simply papering over some pretty obvious cracks.
		Through the prism of history, the Athens Olympics may come to be seen as the Games at which two major trends emerged - the rise of Asian nations as Olympic powers and the time the war on drugs became serious.

		At Minsk in May of 2004, Nahla was the biggest star in the field of 262 competitors in both men's and women's weightlifting, and so not surprisingly, even Sport's Illustrated has picked her for Gold in the Women's 75 kg (165 lbs) event at Athens.
