Marion Jones won Olympic Bronze in the long jump, finishing three inches behind Germany's Heike Dreschler. It was her third medal in these games, but ends her quest for FIVE GOLD medals. Jones has already won two golds -- in the 100 and 200 meters. She still plans to run in two relays tomorrow. In an even bigger surprise, NPR's Eric Weiner reports, Morocco's Hicham el Gerrouj suffered a bitter defeat in the 1500 meters. He'd been virtually unbeatable since getting tangled with another runner and finishing last at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
