[quote=APAULT,316302]Like Jimmy, I felt great sympathy for Liu Xiang. Apart from that I am always moved by winners of endurance events: triathlon, marathon, the walks, road cycling. These are to me real feats of courage. These athletes are the real thing. A sprinter is good for another race a short time after, the diver or the gymnast are very clever and the skill is extreme, but they are as fresh as daisy when they have finished. The endurance athletes are exhausted, they often have to be helped from the track/road. Of course, I am biased: my limited prowess is on the endurance side of the fence (or, maybe I have too much sense to leap of a 10 m high board and complete 8 or 9 twists and turns before entering the water, or I get too bored pumping iron 10 hours a day to become a sprinter!!)[/quote]
