Jones Shut Out for Gold Metal
Botched relay destroys
dreams of gold
(AP) — A botched relay handoff doomed
Marion Jones' chances of winning even a single
medal at the Athens Olympics, a disastrous
ending to her summer of turmoil and disap­
pointment. Hoping to win a pair of golds, Jones
was shut out instead. An hour after she finished
fifth in the long jum p. Jones was unable to make
the handoff in the 400-meter relay when Lauryn
W illiams left too early.
W illiams was left grasping at air while Jones
reached desperately for her teammate.
"It was an extremely disappointing perfor­
mance for me. It exceeded my wildest dreams in
a negative sense." Jones said. "I looked for
great things this year. It didn't happen for me
and it didn’t happen for the team this year."
The U.S. relay team , w hich had taken gold
for granted and was aiming for a world record,
could only w atch as Jam aica won the gold in
41.73 seconds. R ussia won the silver medal
in 42.27. France got the bronze at 42.54.
Jones, running second, was close to the
lead as she approached W illiam s. But Jones
reached once, shouted "W ait up! W ait up!"
as she reached a second tim e, then finally
w as able to give the baton to W illiam s on the
th ird attem p t - nearly ru n n in g into her
younger team m ate.
By then W illiams was already out o f the 20-
meter handoff zone, which means automatic
disqualification.
As the race proceeded without them, Jones
put her arm around Williams, the l(X)-meter
silver medalist, and the two walked slowly to
the end of the track. Jones clutched W illiam s’
hand tightly as the two left the track after the
race, and tears trickled down Jones' face when
she was asked later about her Olympic experi­
ence.
“ It was a rough one," she said, breaking into
more tears. "1 just couldn't get the baton to
Lauryn. and it didn't happen today."

(AP) — The flame went out on the Olympics
during a closing ceremony Sunday night that
honored the birthplace of the games with an
ebullient display of Greek pride and symbolism,
a relief-filled celebration o f the ancient and the
new.
Famed Greek singer George Dalaras ser­
enaded the crowd. Dancers danced, arms folded,
legs kicking high, during an enactment o f a
traditional Greek wedding. Fireworks exploded
over the stadium packed full with 70,000 fans
who waved twinkling strobes they were given
to light up the show.
Hundreds of athletes from many of the 202
countries that participated mingled in the cen­
ter o f the stadium and paraded their flags. They
were ringed by a cadre o f security guards, and
a white security blimp hovered overhead, just
two of the strong reminders of how much the
world has changed since the Sydney Games
four years ago.
Later, the huge white torch that burned
brightly over the stadium for 17 days was
lowered and symbolic remnants o f the flame
were passed to the people of Beijing, where the
games will be held in 2008.
