	Venuste Niyongabo
		Venuste Niyongabo first came to international notice with an impressive debut at the 1992 World Junior Championships in Seoul, where he finished fourth in the 800m, and won the silver medal in the 1500m in 3min 38.59sec.
		At the World Championships at Gothenburg on August 13, Niyongabo won the bronze medal in the 1500m behind Noureddine Morceli (Algeria) and the emerging Hicham El Guerrouj (Morocco).
		Although he was undoubtedly the third best 1500m runner in the world in 1996, due to the dominance of Morceli and El Guerrouj, Niyongabo decided to move up to the 5000m to maximise his chances of winning at the Olympic Games in Atlanta.

	WashingtonPost.com: A Curtain Call in Atlanta
		Thugwane’s triumph came on a day when boxer Paea Wolfgramm won a silver medal for Tonga, a nation so overwhelmed by the prospect of any medal—Tonga never had won one—that hordes of his countrymen fasted one day this week to show Wolfgramm their support.
		Saturday night, inside this same Olympic Stadium, Venuste Niyongabo nearly wept as he listened to the anthem for his nation, Burundi, which managed to send its first delegation to the Games despite the terrible conflict between the Hutus and Tutsis raging back home.
		And, early this evening, the final gold medal of these Games was won by the U.S. women’s basketball team, capping an Olympics in which the Americans—led by a long parade of successful women—finished with 101 medals, the most of any of the record 197 nations in attendance.
