<p>It only seems like forever. An American won a silver medal in the men’s 1500m in 1968 (Jim Ryun) and in back in the early days - golds in 1908 and 1904.</p>

<p>Actually, I wish Manzano would start his move about 250m earlier. His perpetual race strategy is perfectly designed to ensure that he will always place high but will never win. Just once I wish he would “go for it” against the big boys.</p>

It may be on the nbc website where they have all the athletes bios. I looked up Gabby’s because she looked so trim (just a different build, similar to Nastia), and they do list the American gymnasts weight.</p>

<p>Thanks. When I looked up the Chinese team pre-games, they had all but one at 4’6". Now they’re shown as in the 5’ range.</p>
