Over nine days at the near-empty Olympic Stadium, the women of track and field delivered a memorable show, both inside the lines and out. It was a race that had been much-anticipated and all but preordained to again reset the world record that one or the other had broken in three previous showdowns. Just as impressively, Muhammad's silver-medal time of 51.58 would have been a world record, too. She ran the 200 in 21.53 and set the Olympic record in the 100: 10.61 seconds. After watching them conquer records, overcome obstacles and make their messages heard over nine days and nights at the Olympic track, it was hard to say she was wrong.
