Updated: 2006-08-25 17:07 At the 28th Olympiad in
Athens in 2004, more nations (201) participated in more events (301) than ever
before. In the pool, American swimmer Michael Phelps churned out a record-tying
performance for most medals in a single Games winning eight. On the pitch, the
Argentine men's team dominated in similar fashion, yielding no goals en route to
the tournament title.
In women's cycling, Dutch rider Leontien Ziljaard-van Moorsel won the fourth
gold medal of her career with a victory in the road individual time trial. In
men's running, Moroccan runner Hicham El Guerrouj collected gold in the 1,500m
and the 5,000m. In the medal count, the U.S. topped Russia, 102-92.
