Man of steel
In 1996, they called him the "fastest man alive." On Monday, America's
gold-shoed superman should be in position to further justify his
nickname. Michael Johnson, the world record holder in the 400 meters, takes to the Olympic track to defend his gold
medal -- and his standing as one of track's legends. Catch Johnson's
race, along with the women's 400, individual gymnastics finals and
women's tennis semifinals on NBC. Daytime coverage airs from 10 a.m. to
noon ET/PT, and resumes at 7 p.m. for five hours.
