Final Games for Surin?

Could it be a Canadian case of "Cool Runnings" for sprinter Bruny Surin?

The 33-year-old sprint specialist from Canada has announced that the Sydney Summer Games will be his last Olympics.

"Last Summer Olympics," he clarified. "In 2002, maybe I will be going for the bobsled team. Just for fun, killing myself."

The 33-year-old Haitian native, who has run in the shadow of Canadian compatriots Ben Johnson and Donovan Bailey for years, finished second to U.S. sprinter Maurice Greene in the 100 meters at last year's world championships.

BICYCLE BUILT FOR 2: Tyler Nothstein likely had the ride of his short, 5-year-old life Wednesday.

Tyler rode around the Dunc Gray Velodrome in the arms of his father, Marty Nothstein, the American cyclist who took a victory lap with his son after winning the men's sprint.

SPRINTERS' PARADISE: Four of the fastest Olympians — American sprinters Maurice Greene, Jon Drummond and Inger Miller and Ato Bolden of Trinidad and Tobago — are coached by John Smith of the United States.

They're all holed up in a private beach house at Coogee, away from the Sydney spotlight.

Greene has commandeered the master bedroom, and he and Bolden are bantering about who will win the men's 100-meter sprint.

Bolden predicts a personal victory and says an appreciative Trinidad government will likely award him the island of Tobago.

RIVALRY TAKES TO THE TRACK: The rivalry between the Australian and American swimmers has enjoyed center stage at the Sydney Games. And even though track and field has yet to start, sprinters from the United States and Australia already are trading barbs.

Aussie sprinter Matt Shirvington has called his U.S. counterparts "soft," saying the overall caliber is down a notch from previous American teams.

Sprinter Jon Drummond noted that he has yet to lose to Shirvington, adding that "if I'm soft, then he is squidgy."

WOOLY BULLY: Smith had several of his world-class runners available Wednesday to the international media in a news conference sponsored by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
