• Ethiopia’s Turbo Tumo had no chance of winning, but as he entered the stadium in 60th place he was so befuddled by the intense heat (a familiar story), that he lost his bearings and wandered off the track without finishing.

The sole member of the Bosnian team who had stayed in his country throughout the war with Yugoslavia, he had constantly changed the route of his training runs through the streets to avoid being the target of snipers.
