Posted by TheRunning
Edwardo Torres feet were on the track, but his eyes were on the video screen, and his heart was in his throat.

Posted by Matt
Twice during Olympic marathons, as Frank Shorter approached the stadiums, he heard the huge crowds roar, saluting the first runner to enter the track. It wasn't him. Not either time. Not in Munich in 1972 and not in Montreal in 1976.

First the world, tomorrow Colorado
Posted by TheRunning
Apart from a few august dignitaries of the International Association of Athletics Federations who were obliged to purchase new clothes (their dress kit is still in an ever-rising pile of cases at Terminal 5, while they are now back home in Monaco), and the athletes who travelled 4500 miles from Rwanda only to miss the World Cross Country Championships completely, Edinburgh showcased an outstanding success.

Colorado has been nicknamed the “Centennial State” because
it became a state in the year 1876, 100 years after the signing of
our nation's Declaration of Independence. Colorado also is called “Colorful
Colorado” presumably because of it's magnificent scenery of mountains,
rivers and plains. This phrase has decorated maps, car license plates,
tourist information centers and souvenirs of all kinds!
