Re: t-and-f: Mistreatment of Fans at Olympic Trials

I skipped the trials in 2004 because it seemed liked they were run by the government in 2000. I thought that it was unlikely that they would be better this time. One of the good things about 2000 was we could stay in the dorms at Sac State. It was a nice arrangement. Lets have the trials/national

Re: t-and-f: Did Bannister ruin athletics?

That's typical of the crap that's published in the rag known as the Guardian. They get it wrong on everything else, why should anyone expect them to get it right on athletics. Ed Prytherch - Original Message - From: Martin J. Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Track Field List [EMAIL PROTECTED];

Re: t-and-f: Sandrock: 'Ritz' aims for Olympic 'A' standard

It is sad that Lynn Jennings has been so quickly forgotten. She may not have been everyone's best friend but she was a heck of a competitor and she was almost certainly clean. She took the Bronze at 10,00 in Barcelona. Ed Prytherch - Original Message - From: Wayne T. Armbrust [EMAIL
