Track and field (AT11391). It's the busiest night at Olympic Stadium, with nine golds at stake. The highlight is the 4¥100 men's relay, an event the U.S. has won 14 of 18 times and has failed to win only as a result of disqualification (1912, '60 and '88) or boycott (1980).
WHAT IF ... Carl Lewis runs the anchor for the U.S. in that 4¥100 relay? After all the controversy he has caused, he better not get caught from behind.
