Associated Press

SYDNEY Michael Johnson wore gold shoes. Maurice Greene wore a smile. Marion Jones chickened out on her chance to wear something really dif­ ferent. All three strolled to wins in first-round heats as track and field events began Friday (Thursday night EDT) at the Sydney Olympics. Jones began her quest for five gold medals with a leisurely win in 11.20 seconds in her heat of the women’s 100. She wore custom-made black shoes covered with shiny chrome, instead of the radical pair designed for her for the games. Johnson, glancing to his left several times down the closing stretch to see if anyone was close behind, strolled to an easy victory in his first-round heat of the men’s 400. Johnson finished in 45.25 seconds and advanced to Saturday’s second round. Joining him in the next round were U.S. teammates Alvin Harrison and Antonio Pettigrew, who also won their heats. Harrison, wearing a full body suit and long sleeves on a hot, sunny day, had the fastest qualifying time of 44.96. Johnson, master of the men’s 400 for more than a decade, is an overwhelming favorite to become the first man to win the event in consec­ utive Olympics. He has won four straight world championships, setting the world record of 43.18 seconds while winning that title last year. “It felt pretty easy today, so I think I got the mission accomplished," Johnson said. “It’s real­ KRT Photo ly great to get it started.
