When you start seeing track and field highlights on ESPA and read the headlines in USA Today, it can only mean one thing. The Summer Olympics are close at hand. Just in the past few days there have been stories in the media about Olympics wrestling, basketball, volleyball and of course, track and field. Most recently was the report of Dayron Robles of Cuba setting a world record in the 110-high hurdles, clocking 12.87 seconds in the Golden Spike track meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Now be honest with yourself, when is the last time you saw something in the paper about the 110-meter high hurdles. I’d wager it was four years ago, the last time the Summer Olympics rolled around. No problem, though. I like a good dose of track and field every four years. Not too much, not too little. Here’s to Beijing in August.
