The main photo above shows the finish of the mens 100m at the 1984 Olympic Games
in Los Angeles. The awesome Carl Lewis (915) won the gold, his compatriot Sam Graddy (901)
the silver and Canada's Ben Johnson (126) the bronze. Donovan - who finished in a creditable
seventh position - is in the white vest third from the left. The left hand inset picture shows Reid
during the 100m heats, the middle photo is after the 4x100m relay semi-final and the right hand
image is shortly after Donovan had qualified from his 100m semi-final.
