Olympic Silver Medal & A Pack a Day??

Unread postby owlvaulter » Fri Sep 03, 2004 3:35 pm

Vigneron lit up on the infield after setting the WR of 5.91.

I believe it was Borya Celantano (5.65) who said it best with a smoke hanging from his lips, "I'm only running 120 feet, why do I need to breathe?"
"You have some interesting coaching theories that seem to have little potential."
