Sally, Taoufik’s night

AFP, London
Sally Pearson gave Australia » a mucb-needed boost at the
Olympics Tuesday with gold *n l^e 100m hurdles while Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi won the 1500 metres a day after he was disqualified.
Pearson's victory in an Olympic record 12.35sec added some lustre to a largely forgettable Games for the sports-mad Australians.
Makhloufi was only on the start line at all after a successful appeal against the decision to bar him for not trying in his 800m heat on Monday.
The organisers accepted medical evidence that the 24-year-old Algerian had a knee ligament injury and he was given the green light to compete in the 1500m.
Makhloufi showed little effects of an injury as he destroyed a strong field to take the gold.
"It was the will of God, yesterday I was out, today I was in," he said.
Pearson had tried to alleviate the huge expectation in Australia by basing herself in Britain for the past six weeks, and she produced a near-perfect race to edge Beijing gold medallist Dawn Harper of the United States.
"I don't even know how to describe it because it's like a dream right now," said the 25-year-old reigning world champion.
"I am feeling relief, that's the first thing.
And now I am just in shock.
"I really wanted this tonight, I've worked so hard for the last two years. My goals were last year to win the world champs and this year to win the Olympic Games and I've done that and I couldn't be happier."
Makhloufi produced a devastating kick to destroy a strong field which included defending champion Asbel Kiprop, who trailed in last, apparently hampered by injury.
It was Algeria's first gold in the 1500m since the great Nourredine Morceli won in 1996 -- coincidentally the last lime Germany won the discus title thanks to Lars Riedel.
Robert Harting ended that drought and showed real character in doing so.
Before the Games he told Der Spiegel magazine he was a troubled man and felt under enormous pressure to deliver the title, but he pul that aside to produce the winning throw of 68.27 metres in the penultimate round.
That deprived the longtime leader of the competition, Iran's Ehsan Hadadi, of gold, but he had ihe consolation of giving his country its first ever Olympic athletics medal.
"I've dreamed of this since I was 12 years old," said Harting, who celebrated by trying to show a bemused Pearson how to hurdle, ignoring the efforts of the track officials to stop him.
"I first picked up a discus in 2000, from then on I worked hard to get here. It s just amazing. I can t believe it."
Hadadi, a world medallist last year, believed he should have won.
"It shouldn't be silver, it should be gold," said the globetrotting 27-year-old, who trains in Russia, Germany and South Africa.
"I respect him (Harting) and I'm happy for him, but, if I had his equipment, I could throw 85m, not 65m."
