The main photo above shows a happy Churundy Martina after
qualifying in the heats of the mens 100m at the 2008 Olympic
Games in
Beijing. The inset picture shows the closing few metres
of the final
with Churundy on the far left. Disappointingly for
Martina he would miss
out on the bronze medal by 2 hundredths
of a second to Walter Dix (4
from the left). Usain Bolt (3 from the right)
cruised to the gold medal
in a remarkable new WR time of 9.69,
with the silver medal going to
Trinidad's Richard Thompson
(between Dix & Bolt). |
