Hughes seeing double -- two bronzes

 ATLANTA (CP) -- Canadian cyclist Clara Hughes was so exhausted after crossing the finish line in the women's time trial Saturday she was seeing double.
 In her case it was double bronze.
 Hughes, a native of Winnipeg who now calls Hamilton home, won a bronze medal -- almost two weeks after finishing third in the women's road race on the second day of the Summer Olympics.
 "I gave everything I had, I didn't have an ounce left," said Hughes, a broad smile pasted on her face at a post-race news conference. "I had a friend who used to say they saw Elvis when they got in that zone.
 "I think I saw Elvis at the finish line."
 Russia's Zulfiya Zabriova won the race in 36 minutes 40 seconds. France's Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli, winner of the women's road race, took the silver in 37 minutes flat. Hughes finished in 37:13.

    Indurain golden on the bike

     ATLANTA (AP) -- Miguel Indurain made amends at the Olympics just two weeks after losing his clench on cycling's most coveted jewel, the Tour de France.
     The gold medal the Spaniard earned Saturday by winning the men's time trial, however, was a poor consolation prize to the yellow jersey he had held for five consecutive years as Tour champion.
     "The Tour de France is historic," he said. "This is different."
     Indurain, whose reign as Tour champion ended July 21 when he finished 11th, won the Olympics' inaugural time trial in 1 hour, 4 minutes, 5 seconds.
