I worked for this one company that still introduced one of the guys as an Olympian. Even though he was in the Olympics for sailing or fencing (one of these two, I forget which) in the 1960s. If you can still get props for being an Olympian in an obscure sport 40 years after the fact, then more power to you.

1. Wind tho

2. High level athletics is always about pressure. These aren't little leaguers.

Re: London 2012 Olympics Games

Felix needs to stop going after the 100m. It is not her race at all. She gets blown out of the water everytime by Carmileta Jeter and company. She'd be better off only training 200m and 400m against Sanya Richards-Ross. 200m is hers... maybe she can lobby for the intro of a 300m event.

Re: London 2012 Olympics Games

Assuming Felix locks up a 200m spot, would be nice to see her concede the 100 and just focus on the 2.

Re: London 2012 Olympics Games

Wonder why all the other sprinters wear the form fitting shirts, but Bolt wears the baggy tank top.
