I watched the last Olympics ladies marathon on TV and saw Paula Radcliffe run as far as a huge sign with "36" on it. She stopped, then started running again. After a hundred paces of so she withdrew (she had been suffering from a stomach upset and should not have been running in the first place). The following day the British press were divided as to whether she had run 21 miles or 22 miles - not one mentioned 36km (which is what everybody who watched TV saw). . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Humphreys" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 9:09 AM Subject: [USMA:36752] Re: Marathon running!
