CaptionAn athlete runs up the terraces of the national stadium. Athletes of the Sierra Leone Olympic squad work to qualify for the Sydney Games. Sierra Leone first attended the Olympics in 1968, but is yet to win any medals. Many of the hopefuls trained and slept in the national stadium in Freetown, with only one cold-water tap and no electricity.
