protecting the net
ge fei and gu jun from jiangsu province began playing badminton together when they were nine years old. twelve years later they ran roughshod through the field at the 1996 olympics, outscoring the four teams they played 120 to 39. in the final, as expected, they faced koreans gil young-ah and jang hye-ock, the reigning world champions. the two sides had met ten times with ge and gu holding a 6-4 advantage. in atlanta the chinese pair attacked relentlessly and gil and jang were unable to establish their own rhythm. the match was over in 36 minutes. ge and gu continued their doubles dominance between olympics, winning the 1997 world championships, the 1998 asian games and the 1999 world championships. in fact, they were unbeaten for four and a half years until compatriots yang wei and huang nanyan upset them at the japan open in april 2000. there would be no such surprises at the 2000 sydney games. ge and gu outscored their four opponents 120-45. the only time they gave up more than seven points in a game was in the semifinals when fellow chinese gao ling and qin yiyuan managed 12 points in the second game before succumbing. ge, whose specialty was playing close to the net, also won a world championship in mixed doubles in 1997, while pairing with liu yong.

格布雷希拉西耶出生在埃塞俄比亚的一个小村子里，小时候，他每天都需要跑上十公里来到学校，放学后，再跑十公里回家。上学的时候，他把书夹在他的手臂下，每天都保持这个姿势，日复一日的跑着，直到他成年后参加比赛，他的左胳臂依然仅贴上身，保持夹书的姿势。1996年美国亚特兰大夏季奥运会开幕时，这个来自埃塞俄比亚的高原乡村的格布雷希拉西耶已经成为10000米长跑世界纪录保持者，并且已经两次卫冕成功。在奥运会这个世界最高竞技舞台上，来自肯尼亚的特加特被认为是少数能向格布雷希拉西耶发起挑战的运动员之一。比赛的进程也证明了这一点：8000米后，他们俩就甩开大部队。两人一直紧咬直到最后一圈，最终，格布雷希拉西耶以6米的领先优势冲过终点夺取金牌。2000年澳大利亚悉尼夏季奥运会上，格布雷希拉西耶和特加特再次成为金牌的竞争者，比赛完全是亚特兰大的翻版，只是这一次双方的差距更小。2004年希腊雅典奥运会上，格布雷希拉西耶仅仅名列第五。
