Ekaterini THANOU - Greece - 100m silver at the 2001 World Championships.

 Ekaterini Thanou is pictured above - lane 5 - about to cross the line in the bronze medal position in the womens 100m final at the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton. Marion Jones (lane 3) finished first and Zhanna Pintusevich-Block (lane 4) second. Jones was later disqualified when she admitted she had taken performance enhancing drugs and each athlete in the final was moved up 1 position, meaning that Thanou was awarded the silver medal.
