Marion Jones qualifies in long jump

By Rob Gloster · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12:36 a.m.

ATHENS, Greece -- Marion Jones already had long-jumped into the Olympic final and left the stadium when Allyson Felix settled into the starting blocks. Felix narrowly missed becoming a teenage gold medalist in the 200 meters, one of the events Jones won four years ago. But Athens is not Sydney, and rising star Felix is not Jones -- who was America's sweetheart in 2000 and now is after redemption as much as medals.

ATHENS, Greece -- Joanna Hayes screamed as she crossed the finish line of the 100-meter hurdles in Olympic-record time. About 90 meters behind her, world champion Perdita Felicien lay flat on the ground, crying in disbelief.

All Felicien could do was watch Hayes win in 12.37 seconds, breaking the Olympic record of 12.38 set by Bulgaria's Yordanka Donkova 16 years ago. After the race, Felicien still couldn't believe what happened.

In Harrison's world, anonymity is preferred to hype, productivity to publicity. Now entering his ninth NFL season with the Indianapolis Colts, the soft-spoken five-time Pro Bowler adheres to the same, simple philosophy with which he entered the league: Stay healthy, work hard, catch passes and win games.
