Local cycling favorite Jose Moreno won SpainUs first gold medal of the Summer
Games with an Olympic Record in the 1-kilometer race Monday.
Moreno finished in 1 minute, 3.342 seconds to win SpainUs fifth gold medal 
ever.  
Shane Kelly of Australia won a surprise silver with 1:04.288, and American 
Erin Hartwell of Indianapolis won the bronze.
Hartwell edged pre-race favorite Jens Gluecklich of Germany by four hundredths 
of a second for AmericaUs first cycling medal in the 1992 Olympics.
Defending world champion Moreno, 23, of Cayclana in southern Spain, circled 
the track after his victory with his right fist raised to a frantic crowd 
of 3,500.
He was the last of 32 riders, and the crowd cheered him on louder and louder 
with each lap, then gave him a five-minute standing ovation when he eclipsed 
the Olympic record of 1:03.91 set by FranceUs Pierre Trentin in Mexico in 
1968.
The crowd erupted into applause again when he took the podium.  With gold 
around his neck, he choked up when his flag was raised, and his countrymen
clapped through SpainUs anthem.
Afterward, the medalists embraced as the crowd continued chanting RMo-re-no! 
Mo-re-no!S
Teammates and friends hoisted him on their shoulders for one last victory lap, a 
fedora on his head and flowers in his hand.
Hartwell, a four-time national 1-kilometer champion from Indianapolis, 
finished in 1:04.753 in the four-lap event.
Hartwell, a 23 year old rider who captured a silver at the Pan American Games 
in Cuba last year and was second at the 1991 Grand Prix of Cycling in 
Barcelona, knocked nearly two seconds off his best career time.
Earlier Monday, Chris Boardman of Britain posted an Olympic record time of 
4 minutes, 27.357 seconds in the menUs 4,000 meter individual pursuit 
qualifying race.
American Carl Sundquist had the sixth fastest clocking among 16 riders 
surviving the first round in the event, in which riders start of opposite 
sides of the track and try to pass one another or post the fastest time 
for 16 laps.
Sundquist, of Pembroke Pines, Fla., was more than seven seconds faster than 
Michel Baldrian of Czechoslovakia in their qualifying heat.  He beat his 
personal best by nearly two seconds.
