Paris | Every Olympics has its defining sporting moment such as Usain Bolt in the 100 metres at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games or Sydney Crosby’s golden goal for Canada on home ice in Vancouver in 2010.
Some appear as if out of thin air. Others can be scheduled, as in Paris where on the opening night of competition on Saturday at the La Defense pool three world record holders could get the Summer Games off to an explosive start in a women’s 400 metres freestyle showdown already being hyped as a “Race of the Century” candidate.
