The best excuse yet
I was listening to an NPR interview today with Adam Nelson, US shotputter
and silver medalist at 2000 and 2004 Olympics, who is training for Beijing. He recently competed in the adidas Track Classic and finished 2nd behind another USA competitor, He claimed that his poor performance was partially due to the airlines only serving him peanuts on his cross country flight to the event. He claimed that he lost 7 pounds during the trip. |

I thought you were going to post the one by Riccardo Ricco: “Without the team time trial and my fall in the individual time trial, I’d be in the pink jersey right now,” said Riccò. In other words, if he was in another race and could stay on the bike he'd be winning right now... R |
