The best sports interview I’ve seen in a long time

This is an interview with Breaux Greer, 8-time American national champion and American record holder and one of the best javelin throwers in the world. He gives his two cents to Flotrack on not making this year’s Olympic team and doing American Gladiators for “recovery”. This is easily one of the best sports interviews I’ve ever seen. See for yourself:

Classic. Now that the trials are over, I’m looking forward to an awesome Olympic Games.

Update: More on the trials.

Track and field at its best

I stumbled accross this photo of the (via Teamstrannon) of the 800M finals at the 2008 U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. The race ended in epic fashion as Christian Smith (in the white) laid out at the line to edge out favorite Khadevis Robinson (in the blue) for the final Olympic team spot. This is after Nick Symmonds’ (Oregon Track Club) devastating kick which took him from the back of the pack into first place; University of Oregon sophomore, Andrew Wheating came out of nowhere to take second for an Oregon 1-2-3 sweep.

Dive!

Around the Web

This is an idea I picked up from Alex King’s blog. It’s a simply a collection of random interesting bits I find on the internet. Enjoy.

More videos of me running

Remember that time I qualified for IC4A’s but couldn’t go because it was a relay? Oh and that time I anchored a 4×400 for 3 distance guys… Continue reading ‘More videos of me running’

A few end-of-the-year notes

Life has been pretty busy since spring break ended. I haven’t really had time to post lately but that doesn’t mean nothing has been going on.

  • Today marked the last official day of classes. However, the annual Slope Day festivities were cut short for me due to the track meet tomorrow, and at least partially to the cold rain. I’m at least a little bit bummed out about that.
  • School is tough. So is track. Both of them together? I don’t know how I manage (if you can call it that).
  • I still don’t know how I am getting home. The longer I wait the more of a problem this will be come. Lacking transportation home has been a reoccurring theme this year.
  • CollegeHumor original videos are absolutely great.
  • I have 8 months until I start competing for the next track season. I don’t know if I can make it that long.
  • I got the shaft in CoursEnroll for next semester. I guess that’s what I get for having my first two CoursEnroll experiences go so smoothly.
  • Updating Twitter is a lot easier than doing this.

So I guess my goals for the next couple weeks is to make it out of here alive. Between final papers, finals, and trying to redeem my first track season with a good time in the very last meet, I haven’t gotten much sleep. I suppose sleep should go on that list of goals too. Because I failed to line up anything for me to do this summer, that leaves me asking what everyone else is doing this summer.  I’ll be interested to know who’s around until next semester starts.
