What is all the buzz about, "hes the fastest non-African" in history. Yes, I know the Africans dominate the sport but that is the bar thats been set. Let's not have records that do not include everybody! It os even on today's homeage, "Japan's 2:07:52 Man Tomoaki Kunichika Retires. He was a 1996 Olympian and by our stats retires as the 29th fastest non-African in history.". No other sport does this. In the NHL do they have stats such as, the most goals scored by a "non-Canadian" in a single season..no! In the NBA do they say, "most points scored in a single season by a non-African"..no! I hope my point is taken.
This is the level that "non-Africans" have to shoot for! If we keep striving for mediorocicy then thats what we'll get. I don't think Solinsky cares if hes the fastest non-African, he wants to be the fastest ever!
