I'd been training hard and I was fitter than I had ever been. A month earlier I had won the silver medal in the 5,000 metres final in the European Games and now I was ready to do better in the Olympic Championships. I looked at the other runners. My most dangerous rivals were the Kenyans. Nothing much happened in the first 3,000 metres, but then suddenly, I fell on the track. When I got up, the other athletes were already fifty or sixty metres ahead of me. I was sure I WAS GOING TO LOse gold, but a voice in my head told me to not to give up. I began to run again. I could see myself on the giant screen. I could hear the live commentary on the loundspeakers. Now, I was only thirty metres behind the leaders. The crowd was cheering. With only two hundred metres to go I was fourth. Amazingly, twenty metres from the line I was in the lead. But then one of the Kenyans overtook me. I sprinted faster than I had ever done before. Suddenly, one of the supporters was throwing me a flag and I was crying with joy! I had won the gold medal in the Olympics. I looked at the scoreboard. I had set a new Olympic record too! Then an official told me I had to go for a drugs test. I knew I was clean but I was still afraid that they might disqualify me. I needn't have worried. An hour later I was on the podium as my national anthem played. I was the Olympic champion!
