Well, John Godina had the leading put in the Shot qualifying rounds this morning, and then this afternoon turned around and didn't even make the final-final (it was between him and Adam Nelson, and Adam made it and John didn't. Round 1 & 3 fouls didn't help Godina. So that wipes out his chance for four outdoor WC golds in five tries. If he keeps competing after Athens he can try for four in six tries two years from now. And of course in Athens he'll have a go at the OG gold which eluded him in '96 and '00, assuming he makes the U.S. team once again (never a sure thing unless you have 'bye'- which the OG doesn't award).
The other American with that kind of "X-Peat" opportunity in Paris is A. Johnson. RT
