    I didn't appreciate Layden's comments on Alan Webb either. People should just realize that in the last race of rounds, even the best athletes in the world don't know if their legs are going to be there in the last 100M! Hence the 10,000, 5000, 1500, 800 just ask Mottram, Webb, Symmonds, etc.etc.etc.

    Neither Webb nor Symmonds deserve mention alongside Mottram in that comment. Even Mottram's inclusion in the statement is debatable.

    Then you don't understand my point...simply...it happens to the best and the worst on any given day...that's the point!

    re: wejo

    Wejo: I agree with Layden as well. Ironically,he's writing more as a track nut and for the true insiders like all of us. It's similar to how many of us might consider the greatest Olympic achievement being Bekele's 2nd 5k being under 13:00.

    It also suggests that she could challenge the WR, which is pretty exciting.P.S. ND to win 8 games this year and 11 next year!

    Did you really just take a flailing swing at Alan Webb by reviving a year-and-a-half old thread about Bernard Lagat's U.S. citizenship?

    In 2007 at least, it wouldn't have mattered if he was still Kenyan since he beat EVERYBODY...
