My apologies for being unclear in my meaning when I used "choked
up." I did not mean

At the expense of Schul and Dellinger, who should be more acclaimed.

Doesn't this post finally say that we have carried the discussion too

"the only difference" Well, there's a rather large difference between falling
with 90m to go and falling after the finish of a 4:00+change 15. BTW,

Other than Kurt Bray's mention of Pre and the "go for gold" mentality, I'm
surprised no one else has mentioned a similarity that addresses the
collapsing syndrome -- pretty much all the race footage I have seen of Pre
shows him very wobbly legged and near collapsing at the end, and he had a

In trying to explain Suzy Hamilton's fall in the
1500 at the Sudney Olympics, someone suggested:
Apply Ocham's Razor, which states that
in nature the simplest explanation is
most often correct.
That's simplistic.
In simple terms, what Ockham said was that where

I can envision the mess in here if a sprinter admitted to having an anxiety
problem.
We can go on and on about this, the truth hurts sometimes. Truth: The 4x100m
offended some people. Truth: Suzy is not the star she has been billed to
be. She has continually faltered in the heat.
And yes, s

My brother is a salesman for the company that makes Relafin.
Dehydration IS NOT one of the side effects of the drug listed as
required by federal law.
Apply Ocham's Razor, which states that in nature the simplest
explanation is most often correct.
Suzy's fall was caused by 1. A co
There you have it. Our resident pharmacologist (Buck Jones Ph.D.) says no to
dehydration from Relafin. The admission by Suzy that she may have an anxiety
problem that manifests itself when she is about to be passed seems to be
more plausible. At least she's a competitor!
