The race action pictures above show the closing few metres of the
mens 110m Hurdles at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. David (far left)
won the bronze medal - his first medal at a major championship - in a
time of 13.18 secs, with Cuba's Dayron Robles (centre) winning gold and
Oliver's compatriot David Payne (right) the silver. The left hand photo
shows David watching a television replay of the race, in which he was
pipped to the silver medal by just 1 hundredth of a second. . |
