Best Quote from the Olympic Trials

“Now I’m thinking that maybe it’s a blessing from God that I don’t have to run the marathon in Beijing. All the marathoners are complaining so much about the event there, but I’ll get to stop after six miles. Maybe I’ll come out to the 26-mile mark of the marathon and cheer for them near the finish.”

- Abdi Adirahman, after coming in first in the 10,000 meters

(I guess sometimes even worldclass athletes just don't really want to run that far...)
