Arnoud Okken is pictured above (401) crossing the line to win gold in
the mens 800m at the 2007 European Indoor Athletics Championships in
Birmingham. He pipped Spain's Miguel Quesada to the line by just 4
hundredths of a second and can be seen keeping his rival at 'arms
length' as they cross the line! The left hand inset picture shows Okken
leading the way at the bell whilst the bottom right photo shows the
delighted Dutchman enjoying his success.
