The pictures above show the race finish of the men's 100m final at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
After cruising through his heats and semi-final in supreme fashion the final proved to be a
disappointment for pre-race favourite Asafa (lane 6 in the yellow vest) as he could
only manage a fifth place finish.
