BLUE JAYS 5 | A’S 1 (WED.) OLYMPICS | OPEN- ING CEREMONY From African Down and out refugee camp to Olympic start line By JIM LITKE Associated Press BEIJING — Lopez Lomong’s life on the run began in the Sudan, and would have ended there, too, with just one false step. Two decades and thousands of miles later, it will slow to a walk for a few precious moments Friday night, long enough to carry the U.S. flag into the Olympic stadium. “Now I’m not just one of the ’Lost Boys,”’ he said. “I’m an American.” Lomong is not the first natu- ralized citizen to carry the Stars and Stripes — Olga Fikotova Connolly did it in 1972 — and the 1,500-meter runner is one of eight foreign-born members of the track and field squad, a num- ber that swells to nearly 40 when the entire 595-strong U.S. con- tingent is included. But the first half of his version of the American dream reads like most people’s nightmare. Abducted at age 6 from the village of Kimotong when sol- diers from the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army burst into a church service in search of conscripts, the next decade of his life was a whirlpool of death, despair and starvation. Lomong was trapped first for several weeks in a rebel base camp and then for 10 years in a refugee camp in Kenya, hemmed in by a long-running civil war pitting the better- armed, better-financed govern- ment troops dispatched from Khartoum in the Arab-dominat- ed north of Sudan against the ragtag army of the tribal black south.
