Crawford leads US 200m sweep

Athens - Shrugging off the boos and jeers that delayed the start, Shawn Crawford led a United States sweep to win the Olympic gold medal in the 200 metres on Thursday.

The final race of the day was delayed by more than five minutes by the unruly crowd at the Olympic stadium that shouted "Hellas, Hellas" and chanted the name of Kostas Kenteris, the Greek who won the 200 four years ago in Sydney but withdrew from the Athens Games after coming under investigation for allegedly missing a doping test.
