I like Mo. I think the Mo Bot is awesome.
I thought all you track geeks liked him also.
Yeah- I understand that the whole doping thing has sullied him.
But come on 3 years ago you all thought he was awesome.
Personally, I was a division one swimmer.
In swimming prestige goes to:
1) People who set world records
2) People who set world records.
3) People who set world records
12) People who win olympic gold medals in fast times
18) People who win world championships in fast time
38) People who win olympic god medals in slow time.
I have come to appreciate all this tactical stuff in track and bike racing.
It was reading posts from track geeks (like you guys) that I came to like Mo, Manzano, and Meb- (although none of them were ever close to world records).
