Favored in 2000, Alina Kabayeva had won only a bronze medal when she lost control of her hoop in the final. But she had won the 2003 World Championships after sitting out the 2001 Worlds because of a doping positive for furosemide (Lasix) at the 2001 Goodwill Games. In Athina, she led the qualifying, despite less than her best performances. In the final, she trailed teammate Irina Chashchina after the hoop routine, but recovered to post the best score with the final three implements and win a long overdue gold medal.
