Abstract: In this paper, we prove that, for any integer $nge2,$ there exists an $epsilo{n}_{n}ge0$ so that if $M$ is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature $K_{M}ge1$ and if $M$ has conjugate radius bigger than $fracpi2$ and contains a geodesic loop of length $2(pi-epsilo{n}_n),$ then $M$ is diffeomorphic to the Euclidian unit sphere $S^n.$
