Hissy Fit

Greek spectators threw a "hissy fit" yesterday, at the beginning of the 200 metres.

Distraught that Costas Kenteris, one half of the "dynamic duo" of doping/sprinting, was not allowed to run; the spectators vented their spleens by booing and chanting.

The immature tantrum caused the start of the race to be delayed for five minutes.

The top three positions were won by the US.
