The photos above show the closing stages of the women's 400m Hurdles final at the
2004 Olympics in Athens. Ionela (left of picture) is seen neck and neck with
Tetiana Tereshchuk-Antipova, who she just pipped to the silver medal by
6 hundredths of a second. Greece's Fani Halkia is leading the way and on her way to Gold.
