Romario was initially reduced to tears, but his sorrow quickly made way for anger. He blamed Zagallo and his assistant Zico (“a natural born loser”) and ‘retaliated’ by having the restroom doors of a nightclub he owned in Rio painted over with hardly flattering depictions of the two men he held responsible.

That period included 16 successive victories in the British Open, the premier squash tournament at the time and effectively the world championship.

Earlier that year she and Darlene Hard won the women's doubles title at Roland Garros.

- 90. Although Irish runner Bob Tisdall won the race, American Glenn Hardin was credited with the world record in the 400 metres hurdles at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. How/Why did this happen?
- 92. Both Hardin and the Irish winner Bob Tisdall broke the old world record - but Tisdall had knocked over one of the hurdles, which invalidated his time under the peculiar rules in force at the time, although he kept the gold medal. So Hardin ended up with the silver - but a world record.

And after the super-heavyweight division was added to the Olympic programme in 1984, Lennox Lewis (who beat Riddick Bowe in the 1988 final) and Wladimir Klitschko (1996) both won the Olympic title before going on to greater things at professional level.

Among several mediamen and spectators who will have seen both, Angus Fraser played in 1994 - he took 2 for 121 - but had a slightly less exhausting time of it this time, in the press-box writing for The Independent.

He was therefore ineligible to compete in further Games. But the winner’s list shows ‘Paavo Nurmi’ did indeed win two further golds, at Berlin in 1936. How did that happen?
- 143. This is Marla Runyan, an american athlete who finished 8th in 1500m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Given the USA’s prowess in track & field, this definitely wouldn’t have been an achievement.
