What has athletics done recently to deserve all the pre-publicity and
musical trailers that their minor events get?

Sorry, I mistook that for your tag line. ;-P

I agree she's amazing, having returned to competition after becoming a mom
earlier in the year, but one person's performance in one marathon does not
justify the hype that athletics gets. If we had pro-rata coverage based on
Nicole Cooke's performances across the year, despite her loosing the World
Cup crown and going out injured before the World Championships, cycling
would hardly be off the TV screens.
