Evening track session (AT11681). Michael Johnson, he of the 54-race winning streak in the 400 meters, is expected to run for the first time at these Games—we don't characterize his jogs through three preliminary races as running—in the 400 final. Carl Lewis goes for a fourth straight gold medal in the long jump. And you thought Saturday night at Olympic Stadium was special.
WHAT IF ... Johnson exerts himself? Does Butch Reynolds's eight-year-old world record (43.29 seconds) stand a chance?
