A beauty of a free kick by Alex Baena of Villarreal in the men's football final. Spain leading France 3-1 at the Parc Des Princes.

Does anyone know what happened to the outstanding Parisian poster on here who shared a name with that venue?

I hope wherever he is that he's proud of the superb job his city has done hosting these games.

Paulino cruises home in the W 400m

New OR and she pulls up

Some run by Paulino in the 400m. 48.17. An Olympic Record on a soaked track and slowing down to finish.
