U.S. Track & Field Team Dismal Showing at the Olympics

Is anyone else shocked and dismayed at our poor performance in the Track and Field events of the Olympics this year? Jamaica has dominated events where we normally prevail. We've dropped the cursed baton more times than I care to remember, twice. We've pulled up lame in important events. The list goes on.

But, one shining moment stands out to me, David Neville's brute, heroic, nothing short of amazing dive at the finish to take the Bronze Medal (completing a 1, 2, 3 USA sweep) in the Men's 400M Final. That made me proud. We are still America and our fight never dies. We are not afraid to throw our bodies punishingly into the fray when it counts.

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave...indeed.


So, unless you are diving at the finish line...never, never stop running.
