On Top Down Under
Australia hosted the best and friendliest
Olympics every, complete with many unforgettable races
Taking it in stride: Cathy Freeman lit the
Olympic torch in the Opening Ceremonies and then the hearts of all
Australians when she won the 400 meters to become the first
Aboriginal gold medallists in an individual event.
Although Freeman is 8 inches shorter than Michael Johnson,
she has a longer stride-91.7 inches to Johnson's 84.6 inches.
