Well, I guess it's just Dave and me now in Barcelona to decide who's the world's greatest athlete.

Dan's gone.

Hasta Atlanta, baby.

Shouldn't somebody at Reebok have told him: Life is short. Jump quick.

Can you believe Dan O'Brien's strategic blunder of passing at four separate heights before making his first attempt at 15 feet 9 inches? If he'd vaulted successfully at the opening height of 14-5 1/4 - a height he can clear wearing a lead vest - he'd be going to Barcelona, and Reebok wouldn't be staring down the barrel of a $25 million advertising fiasco.

Add this to the great Oops! ...
