Athletics: Donovan Bailey to defend 100 metres title at the 2000 Olympics

Donovan Bailey, the Olympic 100 metres champion, plans defend his title at the 2000 Sydney Olympics after all. The 29-year-old Canadian had previously said that he did not see himself taking part in another Olympic cycle, but his plans have changed. "There's still a lot left," he said. "I still pursue the dream of running a perfect race, or a race with the least amount of mistakes."
